I agree, which is why I picked up the RG Schumi and didn't try to find a platinum one!!!

Only problem for me on these things is that the look is identical to SS for all intents and purposes and price is what, 5x? Material costs are the same as Gold but the cost is 1.5x to 2x?

Given the mix of materials now on these watches, really has the appearance of being much lower end than what it is. So, maybe that's the idea, of a stealth watch "only you know what you have" but you need to have more assets than me to go that stealthy.

It is so much heavier than steel. Platinum feels expensive on the wrist because of the weight (at least to me!)....

If any of you are in Miami, they have one in the Bal Harbor boutique. Tried it on and it felt and looked awesome... (it was hard to put it down!)
