Why not? Might have to be on a strap though because if it came on a bracelet, it could be one seriously heavy ass watch!

Gold is still worth 38% more than platinum on the global metals market: http://www.kitco.com/market/.

In fact, the only precious metal worth less than platinum is SILVER!

I suspect that would be incredibly heavy. The WG on bracelet wears in my opinion as big and heavy as my Platinum watches. Would be a large person only watch I suspect.

Nah, they are going the other metallic way with these. A platinum Subc or GMTc might be in the works, just wondering what colour bezel for the ice blue dial. I won't say it could be green on green, we've had enough rumours about this colour already.

They should do an ice blue plat sky. It would be awesome and a heavy mofo.

I stopped watching Eric almost immediately upon discovering him. I think the comment that pushed me away was something along the lines of (not word for word) "if you think the 36mm Day date is perfect, and you're a male over 30, you're retarded."

Yeah after that completely idiotic and ignorant statement, I simply won't subcribe to anything that knucklehead has to say.
