Very nice, like you say it's really a new experience, I also got today a titanium, the 82, after being used to have the 233 on my wrist and it's weight, I almost have the impression that there is no watch with my 82

Having never owned a titanium piece I would be interested to know the pros & cons compared to other metals. I've heard titanium is much lighter than SS, gold and platinum, but are there other reasons for selecting titanium? Thanks!

The light weight and slightly darker looking case are the main differences to stainless steel. Many swear that titanium is more scratch prone, but that was never my experience with either the 177 or 351.

Much lighter by far, for the scratches I have a few very small ones, but not more than with SS watches, I heard that for tiny scratches there is a product you can buy, with a soft cloth and a little rubbing they disappear, I'll look into it when the scratches become more abundant, to be honest I love my TI, some days I like to feel the weight of a watch, other days I don't so having a TI is great for those days, my advice get one, the 177 is very nice, if I should get another TI it would be my second choice, the 36 being my first, but not the same price league...

I recently got my first Ti as well. I am always surprised by how little the watch weighs when I go to put it on (if I have been wearing something else the day before).

Does this watch have a true "sandwich" dial? Hard to tell from photos and no info on the website. Thanks.
