Re: That's the real battle, weight...>

Yes, Ron!
The color also! I love the color too! That is why I am wandering between those two. But one more thing I want to mention. Although I never had a Ti watch, but after numbers of artiles I read about Ti , I think most Ti materials used( except TiN) in watches are much softer than steel. I will be worried if it easily get scratched, and even reduce watch's value if it gets too much sponge polish.

: ...and color. I fully agree with you on the SS
: color as preferable but weight is a big
: factor. I have the SMP007 and it's heavy.
: Dare I say the SMP chrono will be even
: heavier! If I could do it all over again,
: I'd buy Ti this time. I had to shell out
: $200 to get an Omega rubber band [see below]
: in order to be somewhat comfortable wearing
: it in the summer. Only you can decide but
: I'm giving you free advice.

: Regards,
: Ron
