If offered by AD at MSRP what would you buy, the YG Meteorite or the Platinum.

travisb · 7 August 2021, 09:04 PM

Two beauties but the platinum is the clear winner for me.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ Agreed! It’s another level.

Benzsiam · 7 August 2021, 09:08 PM

I would love to have both but Platona is the winner.

spikep · 7 August 2021, 09:09 PM

Platinum 1000%

77T · 7 August 2021, 09:15 PM

I couldn’t warm up to a YG/Meteorite combination.

The new YG Meteorite is so beautiful but buying one from an AD at retail, never going to happen for me I’m afraid.

Dsmith1974 · 7 August 2021, 09:21 PM

Platona

YG space panda a.k.a spend history has to be out of this world.

A stunning watch.

Me neither looks out of place to me - much better suited to white gold.

OmegaJJH · 7 August 2021, 10:14 PM

Platinum without question!!!

Yellow gold without question IMO!!!
Platinum doesn’t look or feel anything like as special

I have to respectfully disagree.

The platinum Daytona is the most special watch that has ever adorned my wrist. It’s presence is like nothing I’ve ever seen or felt since.

It made my SS Sub feel like a plastic toy.

But hey, that’s just my opinion. The world would be a very boring place if we all liked the same thing.

Make it the RG full bracelet meteorite and I will take over both of the above.

Jpccarguy · 7 August 2021, 10:52 PM

Platona- more understated, goes well with the meteorite dial. No one but a WIS would know it’s PM. YMMV

rolexfanforlife · 7 August 2021, 11:19 PM

Platona without a doubt

7sins · 7 August 2021, 11:23 PM

Does the platinum have the same warm tone as WG or does it look like SS? My WG Daytona is pretty heavy, I have to imagine the platinum has to get heavy after wearing awhile. Or maybe I just need to workout more.

YGRLX · 7 August 2021, 11:28 PM

YG hands down - keep in mind the raw material is actual more expensive plus the meteorite is to die for!

lee fowler · 7 August 2021, 11:34 PM

Platona all day long.

Kiddodoc · 7 August 2021, 11:37 PM

Platinum!

This! , but diamond dial of course, you forgot to add that

rambo99 · 8 August 2021, 12:00 AM

definitely the space panda, the platona has always been overhyped imho.

emtee · 8 August 2021, 12:13 AM

Platona by a country mile. YG and meteorite doesn’t really work imo

quantumdna · 8 August 2021, 12:35 AM

Platona for sure.

To my eyes, YG and the meteorite dial does not rhyme well but IRL I could change my opinion.

Alfa2109 · 8 August 2021, 01:09 AM

My preference would be the RG meteorite. But I’d take even the YG meteorite over the Platona.

Vipes · 8 August 2021, 01:09 AM

Platinum metal trumps meteorite dial for me

novae500 · 8 August 2021, 01:52 AM

Platona if I could afford one
