That looks great!! I must get one for sure!! What strap is that?

That is one gorgeous watch. As soon as I get my 036 back from finepics or my 176 from Joshua I'm definitely gonna have to wax those babies up. The patina on that ti is beautiful.

Nice indeed. :roll: Congrats.

What makes titanium different from steel (except for its anti-corrosion properties)?

Enzo once said it sucks oil from fingers.
Is it that bad?
Does it mean you have to wipe fingerprints out every now and then?

Is it the reason we don't see a titanium bracelet?

The other thing is: only the case is made of titanium, right?
I'm just wondering how easy it would be to fix the recessed cannon pin problem.

How good is the crown guard?

Here's an IWC GST Ti, my most worn watch. It has a Ti bracelet and never needs cleaning apart from wiping the crystal as per.

As you can see, it's no mankier than any other watch.

 

[eLiNK]

Yes, Sir.
I stand corrected.

But am I correct to say we haven't seen a titanium bracelet for a PAM?

If Panerai never made one, no-one would rep a fantasy Ti strap.

Don't rep producers set trends? 8)

As long as it doesn't involve tooling up a Ti workflow. Ti is hard to work.

Pugwash is also spreading the myth that Titanium is hard to tool . . . funny they use it so much in aerospace and the military then.

Ever worked Titanium? It's exceedingly reactive, apparently, and while I have never worked it myself, I know of people who have. Their view was that it was more expensive to set up a factory/workshop to work Ti than it was steel.

For info, the aircraft industry uses Titanium-Vanadium, not an alloy used in watches.

 

[pugwash]

If his ~Titanium is not printing up, maybe the question is what is that ~Titanium actually made of? There are cheaper alloys out there, and would a replica factory use cheaper? Never!

Apple's first G4 PowerBook used Aircraft-grade (99.5% pure grade CP1) Titanium as the case. Fingerprints were never a problem: ask any TiBook owner.
