This above answer is why the poll will not give an accurate response

If you could wear SS for its look weight feel and how it wears fine or if you could have had platinum for its look brightness weight and feel you can only pick ONE answer not based on price

Then the OP would know who really prefers what

Not every look is appropriate for every occasion. I like to have a variety available to choose from.

I'm a fan of SS. Watches I am looking seriously to add to my collection are SS models. I do have a two tone DJ that is worn on more formal occasions. YG or two tone for some reason just doesn't look like me for the most part, in terms of everyday wear.

Wonder how this would go if you wanted a real answer you would have to first state "if all of the metals were the same price"

Then really could choose what metal you wanted to wear. Each metal has its own very unique properties looks feel weight and character and just wondering if all the metals were the same price who would honestly choose what?

They all have their place. There really is only one TT I like, 116233.

I'd want at least 1 SS in a collection. I really like the light weight of SS watches.

^^^^^ I'd still choose SS. Watches with "gold" color, always look cheap"or fake, even though Rolex obviously isn't. Hope I don't offend anyone.

I love the way SS YM II ' s bracelet looks when a light hits, it's like a platinum Daytona's stunning two tone bracelet
Hard to choose in this period, gold has it's own alure but sometimes you may like to wear something else
For me,it depends on what model we are talking about. Dial color also affects my choice

SS will always be my preference for Rolex. Nice to have a PM model though, for when the mood strikes.

I've never had anything but Stainless. If the day ever comes WG would be my choice.

I have all 3 styles and while I love the TT on my Daytona and 116233. I have not seen it in another style that I would like. I love stainless and love the all gold rolex watches. There is something to be said for the heft, solid feel of a pure gold rolex watch.

I suspect that if black plastic was more expensive than pm, most of the pm crowd would be wearing black plastic watches. It seems to be all about making a statement

completely disagree

It seems to be more about personal satisfaction and enjoyment which I think may be lacking with plastic
