For those in the know, can you educate me on the finer points of white gold and rhodium plating. I was at an AD today looking at DD40's in WG and was told that since Rolex no longer rhodium plates their WG (unlike a few years ago) that the DD will eventually turn yellow. Is there any truth to this ? Obviously, if I go with the RG DD this isn't an issue, but very interested to know about the WG and if the color changes to yellow over time. Thanks !
