I thought I would share my long term impressions after owning the watch for i believe what has now been 18 months.
Pics first:
I bought the watch from a fellow member, and used it often over the past months. Unlike what people thought at first, the titanium on the case and bracelet is holding up extremely well. Obviously it shows signs of use that is exactly what happens when you actually use a watch for everyday mundane tasks (using a computer, doing some tennis/sports, going to the DIY store, doing groceries...). Owning watches with stainless steel bracelets, it feels like it grabbed the same amount of marks and signs.
The clasp grabs a fair amount of signs of use, as it is made of stainless steel and it feels on par with the other rolex clasps I had in the past. Nothing different here, except the clasp is a bit high, same as modern Rolex ones. i rather prefer the old school rolex style, which are slimmer.
The movement is a chinese ETA 2xxx something, cannot remember anymore which one, but chinese nevertheless. It does not miss a beat and the accuracy is pretty much on point. Measured over the past 24h (after 2 years of life), the movement runs at what I calculated to be 5s faster (give or take, done with atomic clock online and my eyes only). I had a service done sometime last year after 6 months of owning it, where the tech gave a good lubrication and inspection to all parts
I do not have a picture of the lume, which is one of the best parts of this watch! blue and REALLY bright!
The only complain i have, and this is specific to my watch, is that the date wheel overlay makes the numbers sit a bit too low compared to the window. I never bothered to try and fix it, because I honestly do not care too much. If ever someone asks me, i'll tell them that i got it cheap from a dealer because of that issue...so they would think it's genuine.
Enjoy the pics!
