Hello!
- Titanium is almost always satin finish, and looks much darker than satin steel. This has a very clear aesthetic effect.
- I will not compare polished steel with satin-finished titanium, it is simply not correct.
- If the titanium is polished, for example on the bezels of models such as PAM351 or PAM346, then the polishing quality is worse, because the metal is softer, and the shine disappears faster and is more difficult to return.
- The thread on screw rods fails and fails much more often than on steel ones. People have different examples, but the internal thread is killed on half of my old tiatne bettarini if you like to change the straps often, not once every half a year.
- Since the models can be different, the size proportions of the parts are different, and even the same models are made by different manufacturers from the same material with a slightly smaller mass, I can’t give you an exact recipe for how much titanium is lighter.
Movement, dial, crystal, even hands, and in the end, the strap that you have on your wrist, this is all that does not vilify the difference in the mass of titanium and steel watches, even if you have completely identical models of the same factory from different metals on your wrist.
But let me give you some examples:
The titanium PAM089 from HF weighs 92g without strap or bars, while the steel PAM297 from NOOB without bracelet and rods weighs 125 g
Titanium Chronograph PAM326 from NOOB weighs only 90 g, behind the head, while The PAM250, which has a slightly different case and pusher structure, weighs 125g.
- In the case of SUBMERSIBLES it's still much more difficult, I'll just say that the head of the titanium PAM569 still weighs 125g.
- As for scratches: yes, titanium is softer, yes it scratches, it is easier, yes, scratches are not so noticeable. But at the same time, this one is not like polished steel, on which cobwebs appear while it lies on a shelf.
- In any case, you can fix small flaws in the finish of both steel and titanium yourself. Serious - no.
Two factors are important:
- How do you use your watch? I saw a PAM299 brushed steel that looked like it was in a nail box, although the owner says he just uses it. At the same time, I know a man who has a lot of titanium watches that look exactly the same as when he bought them, although he wears them all and regularly.
- And the second is the appearance. Titanium looks dull, inconspicuous. More often instrumental and not catchy. This is a different look. Understand that you want to go on your wrist, or better yet, try it.
In any case, good luck.
