Pick one Platinum vs Gold

Here we have the 25820PT with Tuscany Blue Dial full platinum and the 25654BA full yellow gold if you could only have one which one would it be?

The Tuscany is very challenging to photograph as it goes from an almost black to metallic blue depending on the light.

The Tuscany also is the heavier of the two.

Both are incredibly thin at a little over 8mm

The Tuscany has the display back which unfortunately the Yellow Gold does not.

Ugh, what a tough decision but a good problem to have! They are both unique in their own ways but for me it would be the PT, that tuscan dial is killer, I like that the PT is understated and could be an every day piece.

What a combo!!
The yellow one is more eye catching and I’d pick that based on these pics but I bet it’s tougher in person. Really think that yellow gold is so cool and has a bit more of that vintage vibe to it.
Congrats again and thx for sharing.

It’s been a while since I wore the Tuscany and it’s a total sleeper QUIET Luxury

The gold really is a warm gold and the dial does change colors in the sun from warmer to a light bright gold, it definitely is way more eye catching

One day my watch collection will catch up with your grails.
I love the weight of the Platinum but it is a stealth wealth watch

Platinum is always special, but Tuscany dial on top of that is without compare.
I understand everyone’s excitement about the new WG version, but I’d be curious what you and others would pick between the platinum Tuscany vs. the WG collaboration piece?
Regardless, the Tuscany dial’s unique and softly intricate patterning is just so enchanting and priceless, to me.

Impossible to choose.
It’s like you have to pick 1 between your 2 kids.

Yes, 100% For me, YG (and even the TT DJ36 that I'm wearing today) is too flashy.
