    The Titanium Watches Thread

    Surprised we haven't had a thread for titanium watches before.

    I've had at least one Ti watch for quite a few years now, with them making up nearly half of my collection at various points.

    Here's my current three, all with quite different surface treatments, from micro-blasted to highly polished. Two more recent additions, and one that's been in the collection the longest.











    Let's see what you've got.

    That's a good trio, OP!

    Here's my only titanium watch at the moment, but I've had a few over the years!

    What a strange watch! Just thinking about the weirdly knurled bezel with no markers: does it turn or not? And if not, why the partial shrouding to the top and bottom?

    I do like the “unusual”! I think the shrouding you refer to is an optical illusion. As you say, it’s a knurled edge to the bezel - but purely cosmetic as it doesn’t rotate!

    Someone else’s images here.

    http://mr-coo.com/battery/seiko-main...8f32-0350.html

    And interestingly a very similar variant with very slightly different lugs.

    Hey, I enjoy a spot of the unusual myself! Some odd design choices with that watch but I love the end product, not sure I've seen one of those before.

    The Ti G is one of my absolute favourites - no loss if it doesn't sell in my book ;)

    Just this one atm, PAM 614. I like the "dullness" of the titanium, and it renders the 47mm sub much lighter than would be the case (subtle pun there) with SS.
    Previously owned a 346, which had a brushed ti case and a polished ti bezel. Gorgeous watch which is still with a long standing TZer AFAIK.

    I've only owned 1 titanium watch for a brief period last year. Cool watch but it wasn't quite for me. I can definitely see another titanium in my future though.

    Cheers, saves me posting it! I'm down to a hard-core of 4 watches (ok, so maybe with a dozen outliers) and the 346 is still standing tall!

    Edit: would be rude not to

    Hands down one of my favourite watches to wear. Great big chunky thing but the ti renders it lighter than a sub (or so it feels)

    At first it felt weird because of how light it is but it quickly became a favorite everyday watch.

    Love a bit of titanium, and if the Z33 was made of steel wouldn’t be able to lift my arm.

    Some lovely watches so far. Here are my two. I would love all Panerai to be titanium, it's more subtle than steel and they end up with a reasonable weight.

    I think it's fair to say that these are my 'keepers' 670 Equation of Time and 389 Sub.

    I had one of those Blue Angels Citizens in Titanium - Great watch, but I couldn't read the digital displays without my reading glasses on!

    And an Orca



    The only Titanium watch I currently have is this one :



    However, I have another coming in the next month or so.
