Richard Tracy Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have owned both and found the Tita model lacked much detail that the Stainless model possessed in spades... that is if you appreciate artistically designed contrasts between polished and brushed areas throughout the case and band, which is a specialty craft that Iwc does to perfection.. Stainless hands, and also Lume,..{which may be weak in this model however can be relumed..} is totally absent in the Tita model... with it's white painted hands and markers. Lasty, the heavy metal feel of the case , while the band slides smoothly like liquid flowing over the wrist, while the tita feels lite, rough & pebbly and the band moves as if rusted, as does the crown when setting time or date, also emits the same sound of squeeeek... Needless to say I still own the stainless model... and the other..... well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SS model is beautiful but it is a little hockey puck looking. I also would not order one if you have a large wrist. It is a small bracelet out of the box.
