What is your favourite watch metal? Originally, it was suggested by Art that the theme should be your favourite "precious" metal. However, given i typically inhabit a forum where prices of steel regularly fetch far more than platinum or gold, I feel justi...
I do have 1 gold Roamer Incabloc watch (grandfathers) and a gold Waltham pocket watch (great grandfathers), but apart from that, there all stainless steel.... Cheers Tony ...
Team, Never had and I don't plan to have any precious metal cased watch. Don't ask me why but, I assume that I don't trust the hardness of gold or platinum. Let's start with titanium. My Speedmaster Solar Impulse. Had one, flipped, got another. This one i...
I toyed for a long time over one, trying one on every time I saw one in a AD. Ultimately, I just didn't quite suit me, no matter how much loved it. Looks very cool. Cheers Tony
My friend, if you have so many that you can use them as support for wrist watches..... Then you don't need any shipment from the North! ;) HAGWE Blomman
Hi Baron, I feel the steel fraction will be a strong one this week. I am part of them: Steel is the most versatile metal for me. It is unobtrusive (no bling effect). It is scratch-resistant. It has a clean, "technical" radiation. For more festive events I...
. . . is having to be extremely careful pulling the balls out . . . . . . of a pool table, and conversely, the best reason to have . . . . . . a gold-filled Omega. :-) ...
that wearing your lovely vintage gold-filled Omega gives you an excuse to let your friends do the "ball-pulling"? These dark dials have something special. Until now all my vintage Omega dials are light, but who knows about the future? My preference with t...
. . . but, at least in my pool hall, using a gold watch as an excuse to not fulfill the usual courtesies would cause raised eyebrows and howls of laughter. "You can't set up the balls why ?" :-)
Throw in HoMe, Wristscan, I like the automotive....... I need to prioritise - and more importantly, get some work done (or should I say Watch Tokens!! LOL!! ) Cheers Tony
I don't havy any tantalum Watch in my collection, since my PAM 192 has gone, but I am very tempted to hunt another one ( not necessarily a Panerai, to say all ). The density, the color of this metal captivates me a lot! Best, Nicolas
.. the look (and feel ) must be really quite something !.. To be honest, no brand/ model comes into my mind quickly (??) - GP ? -- where are you , our Nordic friend ? Maybe the rareness of the metal, or manufacturing process, Hmmm.. Interesting observatio...
Modern watches, I think PL is my favorite. Like a hidden treasure, it is all out in the open but no one knows... Dress watches, my choice is PG/RG. The elegant touch... But most useful and the one I prefer in sports watches is Steel! HAGWE Blomman ...
. . . of titanium, William. I've long felt that brushed titanium has a warmer appearance . . . [image credit: Tony A] . . . than steel, and good to know I'm not alone. Cordially, Art ...
Definitely steel. Versatile , discrete , durable , bang for buck ... What is not to like :) [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] One of my current Favorite. And on my wrist the entire week ;) ...
smaller 40mm version. Have a thing for dressy (wearable) tool watches ! It does sit on my wrist very comfortably, and brings a huge smile every time ;) Thanks !
for overall wear, gravity and durability are concerned, it must be steel for me. Here is my latest, a watch you may have read about and yes, it is number 1. Damascus Steel to be most specific! Great theme again. Best to all, Tim ...
I think many before came to the conclusion that Steel is the most versatile, most practical metal for a watch and especially with sportier watches there is no alternative. Most of my watches in my collection are Steel, of course it also has its reason in ...
.. stainless steel, for every season & event, - just versatile plus chic, sometimes strong or classy I'm happy to share my little chips Two candies.. One as Chrono & one for more elegant events Sportive happy ss choice with 1675 A Piece for all seasons & ...
I think, somehow maybe that's the good influence, encouragement & advice plus a little luck , from a powerful but special. individuals ; - like Vlad, Dr Mamadu & a special friend !! LOLL !! ;) ;) Best, hs
If it were not for the price, I might fall for platinum as well ... sigh. This Lange of yours is an eyecatcher in whatever metal it may come. Best regards anaesdoc
This week being proudly represented by my cherished Chopard L.U.C. Great weekend to all, Alex Ps. Apologies for the tilted pic. This happens everytime I try to post from my mobile. :-S ...
As per your " automatic" rotation of your pics when posted, happening when posted from the smartphone, here is what I found out and how to overcome it : - happened from my iPhone ( all from 4 to 5s): - take your shots in the horizontal position, home/shoo...
I will put it into practice on the upcoming wrist scan thread. As for SS being my favorite metal, well, it just so happens to be my only metal right now :-)))). I have however, begun to develop a liking for colored gold, either pink or yellow, and enjoy w...
... it is a noble, versatil, all around material to make a watch both elegant and strong, suitable for a sport watch and for a high end elegant timepiece too. Not to say that I donĀ“t like gold or platinum in a watch, but most of my watches are made of sta...
. . . and an Omega on the side, please.' :-) On my way to visit family and friends this Saturday afternoon with the '56 SM Calendar on my wrist. Hope you're having a pleasant weekend as well, h!
Hi Looking at watches I own - then it has to be steel Oris Alarm Poljot alarm Just a couple of shots - however, If I had the funds then if I really liked the watch I don't think I'd be that concerned - though sometimes think gold rather than pink/white go...
The Lange could only be improved with the Moonphase ;) that is a version I think is superb! Rose gold is my runner up to platinum! Cheers, Tim HAGWE, Cheers, Tim ...
Yellow gold is my favorite metal for watches, either stand alone or in two-toned variations. A quick double trouble wrist shot taken with fellow Purist member - yellow gold and steel, just as Genta himself liked it :) ...

For its warmth and charm. I only wear RG for office and evenings. Casual and leisure will always be white metals :) A wristie of my recent RG watch, my Lange Wongraph :) And a shot of my RG collection :) Would love to do a quick review of the differences ...
