TimeOut

Hey guys,

Hope you all are having a great evening!

Well, just wanted to share some "heavy" metal, that is the metal which has the 3rd highest density among all elements! (21.45 grams per cm cubed, btw 1st heaviest is Iridium, followed by Osmium) What is that? Well, it's none other than the metal which inspired me to it all, Platinum, people!

We talk about many things in our world today, that uses the name "Platinum" in vain, such as this,

 

But, isn't it time for us to look at some "real genuine" Platinum? The material which is a metal that melts only at 1768.3 degrees celsius/3214.9 degrees fahrenheit, and boils off at 3825 degrees celsius/6917 degrees fahrenheit.

Without further ado, here's some humble Platinum...

 

 

Don'T drop that jaw, this isnt mine, it's my mom's. I got it for her as a present.

Cheers Platinum Buddies!

Thanks for the pics Stephen! 

As for the AMEX platinum card, I would disagree with you.  It's the best form of "platinum" as you can use it to buy the real deal!  LOL

But here in Japan, we buy things with pure hard cash!!

So no Platinum card needed!

Cheers

Do they still charge an extra percentage for credit card usage in Japan?

Platinum is a very noble metal; as Louis XV called it the metal for Kings.

Beautiful watches, and yes indeed, they are fit for a King.

So i'm not aware of any charge here, if there is well i'm not being charged for it, cause i have no local cards.

It seems that you know a thing or 2 about Platinum as well my fellow Platinum Purists! Very good! Keep up the research if you are indeed reading into it, and if you happen to have any questions,  don't ever hesitate to ask me about it! I'll try to give an answer in a fast and precise manner as i can!

Platinum is STILL the only metal fit for a king and all things top. Richard Mille can give us his ALUSIC and such, but at the end of the day, the inherent qualities and properties of Platinum still wins it all. Kind of like timeless classics, no matter the age, the era, it is always beautiful to look at, and is unaffected by trends and such.

Always, always aim for Platinum if the finances allows!

Cheers and thanks for the support always Patrick!

Most stores do not charge extra percentage when using credit cards here, but for store who do not normally use credit cards as payment option will charge extra percentage to cover handling fee they must pay to credit card company

Some stores also offer discount price off regular price if you pay in cash, though it doen't work for major department stores and ADs.  As Stephen said Japan is a cash society

 

Nice collection there buddy. I'm envious.

No message body

Really awesome

Just like the collection of someone I know - all platinum Pateks.

Congrats.

And i do hope that i'D have the honour to meet the other uncle too one day!

Cheers!

Great watches, at first sight I thought it was a wrist shot, the watch being worn the "Agnelli way" above the shirt.

Thanks, i hope you enjoyed looking at them! As you can see all my straps are in a very dark Midnight Blue crocodile, but unfortunately it doesn'T turn up in it's true colours in photos, i will try to get some great true colour shots when the sun shines brighter soon.

Ciao!
