I'd have to disagree with ALL of you.
You need to take the time to learn/observe the differences.
Though I have spent little time examining WG, SS, and platinum watch, by having them side by side the and taking a moment to LEARN/OBSERVE/CONTRAST/COMPARE I can tell the difference without touching the watches.
Even NEW WG rolex models when held side by side to a SS version you will notice a gold/yellowish HUE to the metal that SS does not have
Comaring SS to platinum, you can certainly tell the platinum is WHITER/CLEARER more like a mirror than SS.
