Gold Vs. Platinum
Not being an expert I have no idea if Platinum is more difficult to work with than Gold.
But over the last few weeks i have seen Platinum prices drop like a brick, and at this moment an ounce of platinum barely costs more than an ounce of gold.
Platinum timepieces generally cost significantly more than their gold counterparts.
Will this phenomenon end now that the prices have come closer together?

The dial is ok... I mean, the color of the dial. But nothing can beat a Blue strap, Platinum case if the dial is light grey, silver, or white... Illustration: Not only JLC, but also PP plays the game, and makes this combo... Ulysse Nardin, too: Best, my f...

Well said Stephen. For me the price of platinum never part of my consideration each time I bought one. Instead I've always just been attracted to the brilliance of the metal. This is evident especially when you put it side by side with a wg watch next to ...

As to your point about platinum scratches "displacing" metal (as opposed to what? removing it?), I don't get it. There is no fundamental difference on this score between platinum, on the one hand, and gold, on the other. Platinum is surely harder than mos...
