Re: Two questions regarding the titanium SeMP 300

I bought my SeMP titanium (black dial)over nine months ago and have worn it every day since. It would seem to me that it doesn't show the tiny scratches from everyday wear and tear you see on SS models. Another thing I noticed is it gets dirty faily easily, from finger prints and such, but a rinse in warm water and drying with a soft cloth will make it look like new. Mine still looks as good as it did the day I got it, new from an authorized dealer. I got used to the look of titanium and the finish on this watch and when I wore my SS SeMP it seemed too shiny to me. I find the watch to be more comfortable to wear on its bracelet than the stainless steel version, due in part to it being lightweight but also because of its thermal properties. The caseback and bracelet never seem to be freezing cold in the morning. I hope that is helpful to you.

P.S. I wished they made a version of the watch with a black bezel when I was originally looking, but I've come to like the titanium bezel a lot since I've owned it. Seems like there's not a single scratch on it and it looks great, too.

: 1) How does the titanium model compare to the
: stainless steel model, apart from the
: obvious weight adavatages. Maybe somebody
: who own one can share experience?

: 2) Would you expect Omega to procuce a ti model
: with black dial AND black bezel in the near
: future?

: Thanks for your insights
