Title: What is your preferred case materials for a watch?
Post by: peanut on January 05, 2011, 12:42:59 PM: ... assuming that money is not an issue. :)

Personally, I like white gold and platinum but hate yellow gold.

Strong and light and the look is so tool watch like.
Not sure how well it response with refinishing of the case or if it can be refinish or not.

Post by: ancs88 on January 08, 2011, 07:09:05 AM: I've voted no preference. I think it all depends on the design of the watch as a whole rather than looking solely at the case.

Post by: dsiewmy on January 08, 2011, 03:10:20 PM: i think the issue is depending on "OCCASSION" and "USAGE".

cos if i were to go for a tool watch, steel, ceramic, carbon would be nice.

if it was a dressy watch, rose gold would be sublime.

but if it was for all day use at work, i think steel would work best.

i have not really understood the use of platinum and white gold cos they are very close to steel but 2/3 and even 5x pricier. anybody can enlighten?

but also depend on the usage la...

Post by: @L on January 15, 2011, 04:04:27 PM: As for myself, i think SS for most of the occassion. Brushed is great also.

Post by: Kevlarr on January 23, 2011, 03:09:36 PM: I prefer SS, brushed or polished depending on the design.

Wanted to try PVD but have not found a design that I like yet.
