: questions. 1. Is $2100 a fair price
No for several reasons. First of all, $2100 is more than you would pay from the AUTHORIZED retailer I can refer you to. Buying online you'll be buying from a gray market dealer, so even if the serial number is intact, you will NOT get the Omega factory warranty. Authorized retailers cannot sell their watches online, and gray market dealers use their own jewelers for warranty repairs. Do not even consider this purchase.

: Should I go steel over Ti - I am not
: allergic to nickel? Thanks for any guidance.
The Ti watch costs $900 more. It is MUCH lighter in weight than the steel version, and the bezel is Ti while the steel bezel is painted black. The Ti watch is also darker in color than the steel watch. Ti is super-strong for its weight (many call it indestructable). Basically, they are the same watch with the same movement. The only difference is the material used to make the case and bracelet. If you really like the lighter weight and don't mind paying the extra money, go for the Ti. Otherwise, the standard 2254.50 model should suit you just fine.
