The color difference between grey 316 and white 904 draws me in every time.

Some will still disagree and say that there is no difference between the two metals. The one who say that are either lacking the basic observational skills or just don't know what they are talking about.

904l and 316l steel, when compared side by side, are easily distinguishable.

Chinese stainless varies in colour no matter what grade it is. Half of it is rubbish, let’s see if we can get a pic of genuine Rolex 316L and 904L together... it might be a better indicator to actual colour differences. Ill check tonight between mine and post a pic

Better yet here’s a pic of high quality 904L and 316L from the same supplier( not Chinese ) 904L on the right and 316L on the left the area has been buffed with the same wheel at the same time. Almost indistinguishable under the led lighting.


now here’s a pic of something really different.. this is a very high grade Custom alloy stainless. The small shaft is 316L and the machined end piece is one piece but almost completely different colour at different angles. This is a good example of how light at the smallest angles depicts a difference in materials with the same surface finish

Do you think that you could simply respectfully disagree instead of calling people who think differently from you ignorant or blind?

To each their own, of course. 904L is just whiter in color. You can even see it in the rehaut - it’s brighter. And not just because I have both metals on hand (same factory, same brushing) but because I see how 904L comes alive in the sun in a way 316 can’t.
