: I noticed that this new SM will have a Titanium case. What is
: your opinion of Titanium?
I've got 2 titanium watches (Seamaster Pro Chrono & Breitling Aerospace). I love this metal! IMO it doesn't show scratches near as bad as SS (my Rolex SS Submariner's bracelet is a mess of scratches). The scratches surely do "heal" themselves and are much less noticeable.
The weight difference is very noticeable. I believe a SS Seamaster Pro chrono is around 150 grams (could someone verify?) - almost 5 ounces, while my Ti model seems to weigh no more than my Rolex Sub, a much smaller watch. The Breitling Aerospace is feather-weight, only about 34 grams (barely over 1 ounce). (Breitling, BTW, runs a terrific web site at www.breitling.com. All the watch manufacturers should follow Breitling's lead here.)
A guy in a jewelery store told me titanium is actually harder than SS, but that wouldn't explain why Ti heals itself.
