While that’s link not especially new today, did you know that Breguet used platinum for his "perpetuelle" automatic watches as far back as 1780? In fact, one of the most famous pocket link watches Breguet link ever created, the "Marie-Antoinette," featured a platinum oscillating weight.

It’s possible that the Russian War Relief simply organized the delivery link of the watches to troops outside the lend-lease act. While a production order for the watches does exist, there is no link mention of the lend-lease act. After the war was over, it was actively discouraged in Russia to discuss the aid the U.S. link had given to the Soviet forces, so there's no documentation on that side to help.

I don't know Rafaello amp Co. my Diamond District link experience is limited link to Uncut Gems and I have zero desire to throw any additional shade their way after what must have been a difficult few days. And the jeweler's attempt to make things right seems earnest enough we have no reason link to believe this was anything other than an honest mistake.
