Nearer than you think
As the title states, let's play a game, what kind of metal do you think these watches are made of?

Which one is 316L and which one is 904L?

Comment your guess!

Very difficult to tell on polished surfaces. It’s more apparent on brushed..

I own to JF watch: a 16610 and a 11430, so both should have the same steel. But the 114300 looks darker & warmer. I'll try to take a picture tommorrow

It’s becoming pretty clear that no one can tell what steel has been used to make a watch case, without using sophisticated testing instruments - even though they may vehemently claim otherwise.

pretty much, this is the point, that's why this is just a game!
