Never did understand the platinum DD. YG has always been the classic DD. To each their own. You can spend double for the platiunum - your money

Yes exactly this - the complete opposite of brittle.

It’s softness however can lead to scratching more easily than say stainless steel. But platinum also scratches, or rather gouges too just as easily as gold.

Myself would either go YG or WG strictly because the fluted bezel is beautiful and classic.

Yes its on the rolex website. There are many dial variants for the platinum dd40. You can see all of them on the website.

Thats what I meant that YG may get more scratched up than platinum.

Platinum, but preferably with meteorite dial.

The platinum DD40 feels absolutely amazing. One with a black dial is my grail watch.

I may get one in WG then trade up when I can afford it eventually.

If only there was a way for them to make plat with a fluted bezel. I prefer it over the smooth

I guess you could always put a white gold fluted bezel on there and pretend
