How is it made? I know its made out of platinum, but how is it manufactured? What gives it that shiny look?

Are you meaning the shine on the Maxi Bezel?
If so I assumed it was highly polished, but now you mention it

Highly polishable if you are talking about the bezel

SLR · 22 November 2007, 12:28 AM

I was wondering that too.

sorry to be off topic, but are the center links solid? Just looked at one yesterday.

I am talking about the dial. Not bezel

Good question since Platinum is in fact extremely difficult to high-polish. As far as I remember, the DIAL is made of Platinum, as well.

I believe the dial is sand blasted to get the finish. I will not say
it´s polished, sparkling is what I will call it.

Thank you Jocke

Will steel get the same effect if it is to be sand blasted the same way?

No, you will not get the sparkling finish. It will be a more
matte surface at steel.
