In your experience, do Pt bracelets wear faster than 18kt gold? I ask because a Pt watch/bracelet is so heavy it almost has to be worn tight on the wrist.

Does your half-inch rule apply to these as well?

And, as asked earlier, would you recommend periodic ultrasound cleaning to help slow wear and stretching?

I appreciate your help!!!
Hi. We can do Pt bands at around USD1200 a pop, but really depends on how worn and how much metal we have to add to the restoration.

PT ones are better that 18k because they are harder. The 1/2 inch is really just a rough guide, whenever you feel it as slack then its time to restore.

Ultrasonic cleaning does nothing to help with the wear, but more a personal hygene, since it is your own sweat and dead skin that is accumulating in the gaps.
