[QUOTE=Le Chef;2221235]A few years ago I was sent a wg watch by mistake. It was immediately obvious it was white gold by color of the metal and by the weight. You shouldn't confuse any of them, even in isolation.[/QUOTE]

What, were you in jail?

just by looking at WG vs SS, I can't tell the difference.

Most laypersons would not be able to distinguish WG from SS or platinum by just looking.

THe only reason white gold and platinum exist IMHO is so someone can respond to a person who asks "why didnt you get it in gold" the rsponse can be "why yes, I did".... LOL and be very SMUG about it

I find a certain pretentiousness to the average WG wearer.. They are very quick to insult everything about YG... a very tasteless move on the part of those who feel they are so classy...
