It's irrelevant anyway, no matter how good they look in pictures (I like none of those btw) the ceramic simply looks and feels wrong in person. The only benefit I can see is scratch resistance, but then again, it chips/cracks instead!

I've got my PAM 25 submersible to cover my titanium needs! The SDDS and DJ2 cover everything else

I highly doubt it, but then again I have been known to be wrong

applebook · 25 June 2013, 04:45 AM

No Ti for me. I prefer the heft and hardness of SS.

tudorwatches · 25 June 2013, 05:19 AM

I hate titanium.. looks cheap and feels light.

I could say the same about steel vs gold.

Friedl41 · 25 June 2013, 05:42 AM

Or something in black steel

like my DLCed GMT ...

petenyc · 25 June 2013, 05:47 AM

no

JakubL · 25 June 2013, 05:53 AM

As many above said Ti not only looks cheap but is also light. It looks good on different watches though.

Would not like to drop a Daytona Platinum from a great height, or is that more robust? No idea.

Agree, its Ok on a thick watch like an AP ROO but not on the subc.

SALTY · 25 June 2013, 08:17 AM

I like Ti on some types of watches. I doubt Rolex will do it but as much as I like my DSSD - I would like it even more in titanium.

Very true! Picking up my SubC after wearing my Daytona for a week makes it feel like a toy!

HRFdez · 25 June 2013, 10:01 AM

I say go for the Unobtainium model, why not

T. Ferguson · 25 June 2013, 10:08 AM

Doubt Ti will happen. Rolex probably figures (rightfully imho) there would be little interest in a lightweight Submariner. And they've already got the corrosion thing satisfactorily covered for 99.9% of us with the 904L stainless.

soho · 25 June 2013, 01:31 PM

I don't understand why you wouldn't go for the Pelagos. Am I missing something?

bplein · 25 June 2013, 02:04 PM

For those contemplating that a Ti Sub would be "too light"... Have you picked up a Pelagos? They are surprisingly heavy for a Ti watch. I have a GMTIIC SS and the Pelagos didn't seem that much lighter in my hands.

Rowhyd · 25 June 2013, 02:06 PM

Nothing wrong with the stainless steel one.

Rolexes should feel substantial, IMHO.
