Platinum of course. It has a unique hue

Both the olive-green dial of the Ref. 228238 and the ice-blue dial of the Ref. 228236 are simply the best.
Personally, it depends on my preference for the color of the dial. |

There is nothing like wearing a platinum watch and once you have it’s super hard to wear anything else.i love the fluted bezel but they stopped the honey comb dial and I like that more. Ideal combo would be the honeycomb ice blue with fluted.

I’ve registered for platinum ice blue sticks and WG slate sticks. No signs of getting either yet. First choice is platinum. But if offered WG slate first, I’d probably settle for that.

![]() I have a RG and this one, while both are special the ice blue Platinum feels different. No substitutions! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I owned a 36mm DD platinum, and it wasn't hard to let it go.
I'd love an old-school "tridor".

I love the look of Pt and I love it's properties. Almost completely non-reactive. I've had to put the brakes on buying one a few times. To me WG looks mostly like stainless. I've held a WG sub and a SS sub side by side and while it was a little different, it was not that different. Platinum is really clean, for lack of a better word. Although tbh they could probably create a SS that looked just like it.

This is bad....on a recent thread I was saying how I tried this on at the Munich Airport Rolex AD a couple of days ago. Bad because, here I am looking at this watch. When I start searching like this and doing some recon....bad for bank account. This watch is spectacular. I have multiple WG watches and man oh man, this is brilliant in all ways. The whiteness of the metal and diamond markers is nothing like WG. Its actually brighter than steel.

There’s just something about the platinum.
So So heavy and bright. It’s really something even after a few years it makes us smile every time we wear them. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

owned both. Each has its own charm but the bright platinum metal is really something else on your wrist
