How to recognize the material of links?

I have a few Daytona links left, unfortunately I am not sure if they are white gold or platinum. What's the easiest way to tell? Are there differences in construction?

Perhaps a jeweler with a Gemoro?

Thanks, but I wanted to avoid testing, looking for a faster way.
Do the platinum oyster links have ceramic inserts?

Either WG or Pt links may have inserts present.

If visiting a jeweler is too slow, perhaps weigh them. The heavier ones will be Pt.
