So I'm really impressed with the anthracite dial on the 089 Tak just reveiwed, but I like a simpler dial (which is assuming from the pics that 'anthracite' is not the same as 'black' such as on my 112). I also really like the Titanium case Davidsen offers. Finally, I'm a lefty and would like a 'destro', So, is there a Ti with anthracite dial and either the base movement or one with second hand? What model number would that be and does Davisden make one?

Short answer -- no.

The only Ti/anthracite dials that I'm aware of are all autos, so seconds at 9 and a date window....

OK, what's the plainest dial combining anthracite with titanium case?

Go to the dealers sites and see what you can find.

I'm not a fan of auto PAMs, so I'm not really the best person to ask. The only one that comes immediately to mind is the 089 like Taka's.

Thanks Hooligan. The 089 was also what I'd come up with, but I thought that with what seems to be a never-ending variety (how you keep them straight is beyond me) I thought there just might be the perfect pairing for my wish-list. I guess I could just White-out all the fussy bits I'd like left out :wink: I actually like the 089 very much. Any particular reason you don't like auto-PAMS? If it's an aethetic issue we can agree to disagree, but if there are typical mechanical problems for the autos, then I'll defer to your knowledge and stay away.

Answer:

- 89, 91 - both Ti 44mm autos with seconds@9 and date@3, only difference is gmt and non-gmt

- 106, 170 - both Ti Subs with seconds@9 and date @3, only difference is brushed or polished rotating bezel

Yes, but no one reps any of those besides the 089, right?

There is the 086, but that dial appears busier to me than the 089, despite the lack of the GMT complication...

Yep, and 86 is also made of steel not Ti....

Only rep I've seen out of these is the 89 so not much of a choice I guess.

I know Paneristi says it's brushed SS, but the pic sure looks like Ti to me:

DSN rep is Ti...
