Tag Heuer Carrera 16 Dat Date SS vs Titanium versions

[PolonusTM]

I like the titanium version of almost any watach if available. There is Tag Heuer AD in my place but never carried any titanium version of the watch as specified in the post title, hence there was no way to see it in flesh

I tried to use web to find about differences of SS vs titanium and here they are:

1. The crown top is not filled with resin on Titanium version (this is OK in reps):

2. There is TH logo plate on a buckle in titatnium version vs engraved TH symbol (?) in SS (rep makers got it wrong in Titanium versions):

3. Titanium version have clearly additional "dishes" applied on minutes/hours chrono subdials where SS have them simply cut in the dial (another thing rep makers got wrong):

Titanium (applied):

This one is confusing, since it is SS version of Singapore but Titanium Singapore has the same plates:

heres Titanium version (Singapore) but smaller pic:

SS (cut in):

4. The day date window frame front surface is matte in Titanium while polished in SS (rep makers assumed is polished on any version).

Am I right?
