The smurf move slower as does WG in my experience. Narrower group of buyers looking for that particular version vs. the newer dial color.


comment above is for a previous post here...


I'm confused, is there a new 'blue' color for the smurf. Are they all sunbursts.
Its on my hit list so all info is good to know.

the smurf color has not changed (flat blue)

the TT i believe did go from a flat dial to a blue sunburst 'fairly' recently

What gets me is how a platinum dd is more than a gold dd. Platinum is cheaper per ounce.....

The gold pieces at 75% (18k) the platinum models are a much larger percent of platinum so that is an additional cost. Platinum is also harder to work with so labor is also a higher cost.

Gold is 30 percent more per ounce. I get the whole irs harder to work with. But math wise it's the same cost eve. If it were 75 percent gold versus 100 percent platinum.
