My answer to this question is always “Titanium.” I think it’s by far the coolest 44.
But it doesn’t matter too much what I think. Which do you like more? |

I would go for the Ti. Collection wise since you already have the RG with black strap and the CE has RG markers on the dial as well as a black strap, Ti would bring needed variation. You would have a white (summer edition), black (RG) as well as grey (Ti) represented in your collection.

I think TI is more different so that one.

I am in agreement with the others voting for the Ti. While the ceramic is very attractive as well, you already have the gold covered in your current two APs. The Ti would bring more variety. However, you don't have a wrong option here imo.

Does anyone know the weight in grams of the new 44mm titanium? It it less than the steel diver, which is about 169 grams? I may have missed it, but I have seen lots of posts about how light the 44mm ti version feels but I have not seen an actual weight measurement.

I have the 2017 RG, CE, Ti, and the SE.
Once I put the blue strap on the SE, the RG44 hasn’t been on the wrist. The Ti is a great addition and is the best daily of them all. With the CE, I only had for a brief moment (waiting to come back from ASPC to fix chrono) but what I can tell you is the CE is all of the 44’s rolled into one package. By itself it’s the one to choose, but in a collection not so much. 2017 was the year of the 44 so I had to catch them all. If I had to do one only: CE Pair: RG Black dial + Ti No need for more than two........... I have problems ![]() |

I don't own the TI and cannot comment on it other than it's a real cool watch. Having said that, my CE44 is my favorite watch. I vote CE.

Summer edition is by far the best.

I love my SE, particularly on the blue rubber, which I think works better than the white. That said, I still also love my RG44, although I have the 'old' version with silver sub dials, which I much prefer as it brightens the dial. I still use my RG44, as with the ceramic bezel its much more knock resistant than the SE.
Re the OP, I'd definitely go with a Ti! |
