    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?

    Have owned many ti watches over the years - these three currently in the collection







    Of those I've sold, this is one of my favourites:

    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.

    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.

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

    Titanium is the material of choice for me.

    Oris TT 1
    Panerai Submersible 00389
    Panerai Luminor 00352 (Titanium bracelet) but worn on rubber.

    I also owned this BR Ti O 01-94 which I really regret selling

    The Titanium Watches Thread

    I seemed to have picked up a few Ti watches. Took a while getting used to the lightness after steel.

    I love the lightness of titanium, its colour and the its feeling of warmth. On reading the thread, I thought I'd sold my only titanium watch a while back, the Seiko Shogun. I now wish I hadn't but in reality it wasn't worn that much. It was a very, very light watch for its size.



    However this thread, has reminded me that I still have two titanium watches. First is the Ray Mears 2 which is a very accomplished watch, with the rare monocoque construction, and perfect second hand alignment. It's major drawback for me, is that it wears smaller than its 40mm.



    Finally I have a G shock GW-S5600U-1JF which is a titanium watch in the sense that the buttons and caseback are in titanium. This makes it the lightest watch I own at a mere 46gms, as Casio also used carbon fibre in the strap to keep the weight as low as possible. It has the clearest LCD of all the many G-Shocks I have owned and although it's not to everyone's taste, it's my second favourite G after the GW-5000.



    Photo © Seiya as the watch is a bugger to photograph well.

    And I've just become a member of the Sinn Titanium Club with this smart EZM3.

    Isn’t the EZM3 made of steel?

    The EZM1 was comically light for it’s relative size (thickness)

    Indeed it is. The bracelet on the EZM3 is just very light, I just assumed it was (and we all know what assume does).

    Apologies. As you were.

    Just the one for me - I must admit I like the comfort and the darker hue of the metal.

    I've got one of those, very comfortable and under the radar.

    The Pelagos is my only one. Can't tell the difference in terms of weight since it's a chunky unit but it feels quite tough and resistant to scratches.

    Bracelet looks great. Considering one for my MS21. How would you rate it?

    I’ve not worn it yet for any length of time but it seems pretty comfortable. I just can’t get my mind around how light the watch and bracelet feel. And I’m still learning to like/love the colour!

    It seems pretty well made: solid end links, generally quite well finished with no obvious sharp edges and has a milled clasp. It’s a pin and collar system which is a bit of a struggle and there are only three micro adjustment holes. It’s taken a couple of attempts but I think I’ve now got a pretty good fit.

    It’s my first titanium watch and bracelet so it still feels a little strange compared to stainless steel but I’m very pleased with it.

    If you’ve already got a titanium D1 then £72 for this bracelet is a no brainier in my opinion.

    Just the one for me and, as someone has already said, I don't notice the lighter weight because it's a substantial watch. Was pretty confident I'd be moving it on fairly quickly but it's 50:50 now, if I didn't wear smaller watches I'd probably notice the size less.

    Are you ordering new from Kobold?
    I think the experience of others would suggest you don’t do business directly with Kobold.
