i like it, great choice :)

The lightness of Ti compared to the SS versions can seem a little strange at first, but they are super-comfy because of it!

Did you get the strong lume version? Lume is gooood :p lol

Is it still on the rep strap? I find that if you sort out a good strap (I recommend rubber with Ti, my 177 is perfectly suited to rubber :)) a watch is transformed and can go from a 'meh' watch to a daily wearer!

If you ordered without and changed your mind I'm not sure you'll get a different dial for free ;) but the dials are only cheap, perhaps $15-$20 max, so not a big outlay!

No, i only ordered a deployant clasp and blue hands on a MM226 which comes with the marina militare dial.

No, you cant "throw another dial on" You make it sound like a strap change.
Its not a simple thing i assure you.

No he didn't. I'm sure that this expression has been used hundreds of times here, much like someone would say "you can throw on another set of rims." It's understood by anyone who has seen a tire changed that it isn't as easy as changing your shirt. You over-reacted and took it too literally, I assure you. My daughter is the same way, and as annoying as it can get, I understand where you're coming from.

Depending on the movement and case size blah blah blah, I'm with slimslim in thinking that you can throw on another dial.
