If you need to justify, then it's just not for you.

Really? I once wore a platinum necklace to a jewellery store and the owner, perhaps 2 meters from me, commented that the platinum necklace looked great.

I am no expert but also think the difference between platinum and stainless, though subtle, is recognizable.

My only additional comment is, remember the gold rush in the Western US in the 1800s? Never found white gold did they?!

Do you really expect him to be watching this thread seven years after he posted in it?

I find necrobumped threads fascinating because they show just how reliant the internet was on Photobucket. It might be the most epic internet own-goal of all time that the company managed to throw it all away.

If you put stainless next to platinum and WG you’d know they were different ...it’s more about the ownership experience

Some people are more private than others. My watches are for me. I have some expensive ones that are only worn when I can keep them tucked neatly up under my jacket or shirt sleeve. Other people are more outgoing. Nothing wrong with that, I appreciate running into owners of nice watches and having discussions with them.

Platinum looks like SS in the same way that Kate Upton looks like Rosie O'Donnell...

I don’t know about you but I’m not doing much these days so 7 years or 7 mins, I’m ok with that.

Nothing wrong in my mind Paul with that; if the forum administration wants to really avoid that they just need to close the old threads to avoid it (then, how old is old enough to close it?).

It makes more sense in my mind for someone to “revive” the thread than to create another one on the same topic.
