Hi Everyone,
Any recommendations for platinum watches? I am hoping to find a watch which has a platinum case and platinum bracelet. Only requirement is that the watch dial is symmetrical (preferably no date).
My interest in platinum started when I wore a platinum ring, I really like the weight of it. Recently, I tried a White Gold Daytona and was surprised by it’s weight. That brought me to search for a platinum watch!
I have done some search on brands which I am familiar with (e.g. Seiko, Grand Seiko & Credor) but I couldn’t find one which has platinum case and platinum bracelet.
Some background on my collection, I currently own mainly Seiko watches (Diver, multiple Astrons, etc) and a Grand Seiko (Jade Iwate SBGW255). Looking to acquire a Lake Suwa (SLGA007) in the near future but I am also looking for a platinum watch to diversify my collection.
There are no non lady’s pieces under 30k. Not even pre-owned.
If you want to go AD or boutique you have to look at a minimum of 60-70k.
Platinum is somewhat of the endgame when it comes to traditional watch materials. I’d recommend extending your collection with some better suited pieces, otherwise it wouldn’t match at all. The price difference is just too much.
You can get white gold watches for under 30k easily with a little less weight then platinum, but still a good feel.
Thanks for the advice, I guess platinum is something which I will look towards in the future, not now. Do you have any recommendations on White Gold watches?
White gold isn’t that bad when it comes to scratches. Sure you’re not suppose to wear it while working outdoors or something but it’s still a solid watch.
I can’t really recommend anything since there are so many watches and I don’t know your type. Do you have any preferences ?
