One year anniversary

Hi all,

Well it's been one year since I bought my first "proper" watch (titanium SMP) and I still think it looks absolutely stunning. Still gets me staring at it when I catch a reflection of it in the mirror - hey, you all know what I mean!

Have had no problems with it at all and think I definately made the right choice getting the titanium version. It's a pleaseure to wear and it's not overly shiny like the SS model (personal preference I guess) In addition as it's so light, can do almost anything wearing it i.e all sports etc.

Before I bought the watch I remember reading on this forum (which is extremely informative along with chronocentric site itself -well done!!) concerns regarding the tendency for titanium to scratch very easily. Well, although it's only been a year I have worn my watch every day and I have not noticed it catching scratches anymore than a normal stainless steel watch. In addition, if you happen to have a microlon cloth (again, something I picked up from this site) it's very good at removing any scratches. As such, I'm glad to say the watch looks as new.

Might even give the watch a polish as a special anniversary present!!

Harry
