Titanium Yachtmaster 42

Thought I wasn't going to buy anything for a while (assuming that anything announced in April won't start showing up until late in the year). Then my fantastic AD called yesterday with this...

It's nice, great summer and every day watch. Compares nicely with my other Ti piece - the Laurent Ferrier Auto Sport (the finishing on the latter piece is more smoothly finished). The dial is a gorgeous matte-dark-grey.

Except for the 23 currently on Chrono and the dozens I've seen on ebay Uk.I would suspect they've produced thousands. I tried a friends one on, love it and hope they make a smaller piece say 38/39mm one day.

Ya true, sadly the new models find their way to the greys before they end up on the wrist of those who actually want to own the watch in most cases.

I think it'll look great on a rubber strap or NATO. Total tool watch.

Congrats on scoring a beautiful watch. I love the matte finish of the bezel and the dial. I wish it was a few millimeters smaller…. And more readily available

It feels fake on the wrist as it’s unbelievably light.
Well done on getting it first!

Congratulations, I have the same watch in white gold and I think it's incredible, and not as big as you might think.

Wow sweet. I was starting to wonder what’s up with these.

Tudor is cranking out ti pieces like hot cakes.

Can’t wait to see the new YM in person.

Yes, it fits well, the tapering on the lugs is a lovely touch as well.
