Hi All,
Though some of you might like to see my latest addition. It's a solid platinum Deville Rattrapante Yes, it's heavy but I kind of just don't care [emoji23]. One of 107 made in 2007. Apologies for the unimaginative wrist shot!

I'm not into the formal stuff. But that is a great looking watch. Congrats.

 

I see so many watches on here that it takes something pretty amazing to stop me in my tracks.
That is stunning.
Never before have I mentioned the word grail, as I think its a bit naff, but an exception could be made here.
Lucky bugger, enjoy it.

That's a lovely looking Megan, I mean watch

 

Thanks OmegaCard and Benolio! Cosd, I was distracted too by Megan haha.

I've always liked the Rattrapante function in chronographs but have not had the opportunity before to acquire one. It was just blind luck that it happened to be this model.

That's a beautiful watch.

Is the platinum alloyed with anything to make it more scratch-resistant? I'd be petrified of scratching that beauty.

 

Thanks ahartfie. The platinum is 95% pure, I'm not sure what the other 5% is. Platinum is harder than gold and silver though so it's naturally a little more resistant. Gold watches mark very easily even though they are only 75% pure (18k)

Maybe someone with a jewellery background can comment on the 5%?

I would think somewhere Omega has said what thier alloy is.

 

Love it!!
There's nothing quite like platinum...

 

Adam, that looks nice.

What are the red numbers on the hands?

 

looks to be the LE number 031/107

 

If you could just PM me your address...

Most platinum alloys for the trade are alloyed with iridium, but also ruthenium and cobalt are sometimes used. I can't see anything in Omega's documentation with a quick search that identifies the 5% in their PT950 alloy, but most likely it's iridium.

 

Like it. Wear in good health.
