SS and WG side by side pics?

I'm curious to see comparison shots between SS and WG, if there is any difference that would be noticable in a pic. Anybody has pics that would be great.

You will certainly notice the difference side by side as the wg has a much softer look to it... Sorry I dont have a pic for you but I am certain some will

I personally find the WG to be a little whiter.. Nothing to major in difference. Just the weight

A key reason I have WG is because it's difficult to tell them apart.

You can definitely tell the difference close-up but in terms of general appearance to the passer by, not too much difference. But as Dalip has said, that's part of the attraction...... Stealth

tough to see, but the white gold appears to have a "deeper" look. I buy wg so I can wear it everyday, who cares what others think.

cheers

I figured there would be a bit more difference when seen side by side.

Stealth, I agree is the attraction. I have the WG sub and it would stand out more if it was yellow gold. So inside, I know it's gold but don't attract unwanted attention.

Stealthy

I also like the idea of stealthy. You can wear wg or pt and no one notices. Wear the cheapest yg and you are guaranteed to get comments and noticed. My favorite stealth is the Lange 1 in pt. It's all but invisible!
