Those polished center links really show hairlines, but after four years, it looks great

I think platinum looks fantastic when it develops character. I love the look of my mom's well-worn platinum ring. Can we get a shot of it a little further away?

Most of the wear on my bracelet is on the 12 o'clock side.

PCL's look beat to hell, but considering the amount of use you get out of it, I'm impressed.

Keep them coming Tom.

Yes, cool it's not a garage, er drawer queen.

Is the wear on the PCLs due to the nature of the oyster band, the nature of platinum, or the fact that the watch is worn in all situations?

I have a 30 year old jubilee bracelet that is worn in all situations and it still looks really good, but I have a stainless Daytona on order and am wondering what to expect.

I really enjoy seeing your photos Tom, many are taken back by the slightest scratch on their timepiece. Wear it and enjoy it

I'm impressed with the wear. Most SS Daytona's look a lot worse for wear, for those who enjoy them.

Gotta stop looking at these photos. As they say gold is the gateway drug to platinum!
