Beautiful piece, but whats going on with the bezel screw at 8 and the edge of the counter bore for the screw at 11? Screw at 8's slot looks to go corner to corner, and the counter bore edges seem dinged up, could be the pic tho. Wear it well my friend, and send it to me when done;)

I know I know. I have a sparkling new Ti bezel and screws in my parts basket but just haven't gotten around to changing them yet. This gets the least wrist time of all my frankens due to the easy scratchability of Ti case.

Thats one thing I just dont understand. Why are these watches made with such shitty titanium? It seems like grade 2 to me, which is a very weak alloy. I'm honestly about to make a grade 5 ti case for my schumi so I basically cant scratch it.

Note: I say alloy loosely for grade 2. grade 2 is technically considered CP, or commercially pure, so about 99% ti, so technically not an alloy. Grade 5 is titanium alloyed with vanadium and aluminum. Stronger than grade 2 for sure. Still would be scratchable, but not as much as grade 2, its about the same as steel

Absolutely thrilled with it.
