White Gold watches - does it not fade/discolour like rings?

[jameshe]

Hi guys,

I am a fan of white gold models (aesthetically), and have some white gold jewellery (rings). My question is - does it deteriorate/fade/discolour over time, and at what rate? (i.e. as bad as a white gold wedding band for example?)

This thought struck me the other day. With something like a submariner, a sports/diving model (the quintessential 'tool' watch if it were in steel) surely it would not be offered in WG if it were the case? I would be amazed to hear that it doesnt degrade at all from the original colouration/hue (scratches aside)...

Anyone out there got experience of the solid gold models?

Thanks guys
