Re: Ti Seamaster

In Response To: Ti Seamaster ()

: I was comparing the Omega with other
: manufacturers and found that they use grade
: 5 Ti, rather than grade 1 Ti, which I know
: is most pure, but for a sports watch, surely
: the most 'hard' type is best, since this is
: more scratch resistant?

Grade 5, who is ???.
I only know IWC, who is using Grade 5 for the case bottom plate, otherwise they use Grade 4.
I have my ideas why Omega is using Grade 1, but that's a different story. Ventura might make Grade 5 watches ???.

- Why don't Omega
: use grade 5 Ti, or are they planning to do
: such a thing? -

I do not believe that Omega plans another Ti watch currently.

I know it might add some
: weight, but since I am happy with the weight
: of the SS model, I don't think this would be
: a problem.

: As a separate issue, does anyone know of
: anything to remove minor scratches on the
: brushed steel Seamaster clasp?

: Thanks.
