As much as I like the Pelagos and I have huge respect for Tudor but its still no Rolex, would they build the Submariner in Titanium? Would you be interested in one?

I know I would, it would be the perfect everyday watch, the current steel sub is a bit too flash, the titanium will dull it down abit more and make it look like a Tool Watch again and not to mention make it lighter.

Nope

Bangel · 24 June 2013, 12:16 PM

Who knows what Rolex will do? I wouldn't hold my breath though.

Myself, I'm happy with SS.

ecsub44 · 24 June 2013, 12:17 PM

Don't think I'd be interested in Ti.

samsam · 24 June 2013, 12:21 PM

I hope they won't. Not interested.

Billywiz · 24 June 2013, 12:24 PM

Hope not...

Orangejoe · 24 June 2013, 12:28 PM

Countdown to Sept. for the mainland release of the Pelagos.

Lumed Matte ceramic bezel, Ti case, self adjusting clasp.

It seems like it IS the Submariner, evolved.

Swift_Movement · 24 June 2013, 12:30 PM

Not for me. I like a substantial metal

Chewbacca · 24 June 2013, 12:32 PM

doubt it.

watchf · 24 June 2013, 01:37 PM

Not before they make one in platinum! :D

This is what I thought first too!

I'd really like to see one in tungsten but it may be too brittle...

kilyung · 24 June 2013, 02:32 PM

How about a full ceramic SubC?

Maxfli · 24 June 2013, 02:45 PM

I like both the comfort and the look of titanium, so I sure hope so . . . but I doubt it'll ever happen.

DreambreaX · 24 June 2013, 02:48 PM

I dont like titanium because its too light. In general I like heavy watch except rolex dssd.

DreambreaX · 24 June 2013, 02:48 PM

I prefer Platinum sub =D

crowncollection · 24 June 2013, 04:55 PM

Unlikely IMHO

well, the case back of the DSSD is titanium and the tudor pelagos is titanium, so it wouldn't be "impossible", but, i think that if they would have wanted to do a titanium submariner, they would have already done it.

travisb · 24 June 2013, 06:23 PM

Can't count it out completely, but I don't see it happening.
I hope not anyway.

Not likely

cop414 · 24 June 2013, 08:36 PM

I really doubt it but you never know.

mjclark32 · 24 June 2013, 08:42 PM

Judging the prices charged by Rolex for just a slither of ceramic in there inserts,a ceramic case bracelet would cost more than gold.

The main and only difference is the name on the dial which like most all high end watches you pay quite a high price, but not quite so much for the Tudor line.

Daytona-Dan · 24 June 2013, 09:06 PM

I don't like full ceramic watches at all, they look cheap and tacky, especially the white. I like titanium as a metal but it's far too light for a watch and feels flimsy/cheap in the hands (I know it's not). I also don't like the colour tone. I personally hope they stay away from both materials.

Baselman · 24 June 2013, 09:16 PM

They have a titanium back on the DSSD that's all the titanium Rolex will ever use

landroverking · 24 June 2013, 10:06 PM

Don't think so. Tudor is where Rolex likes to think outside the box.

to each his/her own, but, ceramic, when done well, rocks, IMHO.

I did say FULL CERAMIC right? Those are not full ceramic.
Since we're supersizing words I figured I'd follow suit.

Either way, they might look ok in pics but in person, they look and feel tacky.
I stand by my argument.
