Maxi Marine Titanium and Gold Hunt

[boro]

Hello,


I'm extremely passioned about the Maxi Marine Titanium and Gold edition.


Currently I have one rep, which in my view has 2 major issues:
1)The strap material is very poor. The rubber is too hard. The trap edges start bothering my skin after 1.5-2hrs of wearing.
2)The watch corpus is gold, instead of titanium.


I'm willing to get a new better version with the proper color matching - titanium + gold (Well... ok .. I get that it will not be titanium, but at least SS)


Here are my candidates both from pure time:




Maxi Marine Diver SS/RG Black Wave Dial on Black Rubber Strap A23J

Added: 2012 // Should this one be better, just because is 3 years newer?




Maxi Marine Diver TT Black

Looked in toro as well, but it seems that they don't have this color combination.


It would be great if someone can share a feedback or few words on which one is 'better' and possibly recommend a dealer/factory.




Thanks in advance.

SECOND ONE IN AUTOMATIC NOT QUARTZ. What I can tell you is you get what you pay for. #1 above was almost twice the price and twice as nice. The rubber was thicker and more substantial and the feel of the watch more solid

My experience with Puretime is that they are the best communicators in terms of understanding what you want. They are fair enough so if you pay $350+ you will get a good product. Make sure you email sales and ask if they can get it before sending money
