Definition of 'Precious Metals'
A classification of metals that are considered to be rare and/or have a high economic value. The higher relative values of these metals are driven by various factors including their rarity, uses in industrial processes and use as an investment commodity.

Precious metals include, but are not limited to: gold, silver, platinum, iridium, rhodium and palladium.

Precious Metals Definition | Investopedia

Sources: Titanium is the 9th most abundant element in the earth's crust. It is almost always found in igneous rocks. It occurs in rutile, ilmenite, sphene, and many iron ores and titanates. Titanium is found in coal ash, plants, and in the human body. Titanium is found in the sun and in meteorites.


Titanium Facts - Periodic Table of the Elements

Whilst you are at it, do check on Google to see if als manufactures in titanium.

Perhaps i should have said that ALS is the only manufacture that makes watches only in precious metals instead of ALS doesnt manufacture in SS.




as i said:

Piaget Luxury Watches and Jewellery - Craftsmanship

quote: "The production of all watch cases – made exclusively of precious metals –, the casing of the watches, the gem-setting and quality control operations are all carried out at Plan-les-Ouates."

no matter how you put it, no SS or precious metals only, it doesnt make a difference. Piaget is precious metals only. btw, piaget decided on this in 1957.

dont like it? take it up with Piaget.

this one off edition in ss alone is enough to proof that als customises for clients, which is a good thing imo.

then again, if we look back at ww2, there are plenty of als pilot watches made in steel too.

thanks for info btw.

titanium and stainless steel is not a precious metal, so the onus is on piaget to rectify this mistake. polo 45 is not made with precious metals too

so the best way to conclude this is to say that, there are no watch manufacturers that solely produces watches in precious metals

no problem. i am happy for share info.

well.. these are just things watchmakers do and say to fluff up their brands and you cant really fault them too much on their marketing angle.

this looks like similar to a NATO type strap correct? I think you can find some at Gnomon or even some of the watch shops at the bencoolen...

Also can find some online at sites like CountyComm - Nylon Watch Bands

Can I know where can I change leather strap? I got one watch still in working condition, but the strap smell badly due to sweat. So thinking of changing a new one for it.

Go JB KSL, The watch Gallery. They give a very good discount for the Visodate I bought today.

Really like the Baume and Mercier watches. Anyone can recommend where is a good place to grab them?

What is the price range I'm looking at for Classima 8731 and Hampton 10026?

Appreciate all advice!
