Thank you. I’ll try!

Unicorn watch. Tough the execution of the brushing left me bit with sour taste. Looks pretty uneven / raw . But maybe is only a picture problem.

Titanium execution from tudor but also panerai looks way smoother

I’m not familiar with the Tudor or Panerai but it might just be a photo thing - it’s satisfyingly smooth to the touch - with less friction than SS. It also feels warmer to the touch than steel.

Also I had to put in a link - it has ceramic screw inserts, like the day-date. Nice touch.

Wow!

You must have a very special relationship with your AD

My AD still hasn’t seen one & says they don’t expect one anytime soon

Congratulations & enjoy

No doubt is a gorgeous watch however when you have chance put it closer to other titanium watch and you will get my point.

Cool watch!

I was really hoping it would be a no date watch on the Oysterflex/rubber...like the prototype. Would be all over that one. This one is very cool too.

Is rather that Ti once scratch is not easy to remove like ss. You still can of course but not every shop can handle

Have to say I agree.
No date and oyster flex rubber would be a slam dunk for me

Maybe one day

Don’t get me wrong.
I’d probably jump all over the ti YM in its current configuration as well if I was given the chance.
But I do like my divers on rubber for the perceived smaller size on wrist and i would feel stupid having that magnificent brushed oyster TI bracelet sitting in a box.

Don’t think it’s classed as a diver - only 100m WR.

Of course you could always chisel off the cyclops and stick it on a Rubber B. Easy!

This must be hard to find because it is selling at something like 100% markup over retail on the used market at the moment...

I can't see it is ever worth paying that premium but good luck to those who can.

I don't know if this is better than a CHNR GMT TT or not...

Congrats. Great looking watch.
I have inquired about one but no AD that I’ve visited has even seen one yet. Hopefully they get out there and one finds it’s way onto my wrist!
