tenacious_b Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I have seen and handled both; SS is the superior watch. My second one should arrive today, and I may get the white face next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Thanks for the comment Ive owned the SS version and i thought it was great but i may be tempted by the Titanium Whats so 'Superior' about the SS Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I almost ordered the Ti after receiving the SS - because I liked it so much. EL (at that time) told me not to order the Ti because it wasn't the same watch - i.e. the quality left something to be desired. He thought that at some point they'd be released an upgraded Ti version, but I don't think that ever happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWP Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Joe, You have owned an SS so why not try something new? I own both version and like the fit and feel of the TI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I also like Titanium but everything i wear my GST Ti the Mrs always says it look like a cheap toy. Shes referring to the Titanium look. Not too sure what to do, as you know women always know best.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkerouac Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 As you have owned the SS Ingenieur I don't have to explain the watch to you. I am extremely fond of mine and would not consider parting with it. If the question is one of diversity or variety, consider getting a matching carbon fiber strap so you can change out with the bracelet. To me the bracelets on the Ingy and GST are among their strong pluses, but I can understand why some people would want to change the look of the Ingy by pairing it with a strap.

teddy boy Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 White face is Phantasy, no? I have the white face on my wrist and I really like the look. My pam 029 obviously has a black face and I wanted something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I own the SS and really like it. I don't own the ti but I was in Wempe a couple of weeks ago and tried the ti Chrono (gen of course) and it was a vdry sweet watch. It is a guy's watch though. Not shiny.

lfovco Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 That's a tough choice, I still cannot decide myself which one to get but I'm leaning more towards TI. I really like the face of the Ti better with the numbers and red seconds hand but I'm not crazy about TI being so light. I think SS looks really nice but it is close to many other watches. I tried both genuine at an AD and I felt that TI has more character. I might actually order it finally later this week, although I wonder about quality. Hope that helps.

shultzie Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I might actually order it finally later this week, although I wonder about quality. my personal experience with the AMG? - great quality. I wore this watch on tuesday - thursday nite it was still ticking strong and it keeps great time. Now i had fits switching out the bracelet to the strap. The gunk that holds the carbon fiber onto the kevlar strap ran over the pin holes and was so sticky I couldn't get the pins in and ended up breaking them in half (the pins not the strap) - so clean the holes out good. but the timepiece is top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 @shultzie, is that a titanium buckle on your kevlar strap? it's hard to tell from the pictures, but it doesn't look shiny at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenacious_b Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 White face is Phantasy, no? The white face at that particular size is a fantasy, but I like it well enough that I don' care. As for the differences, well, the titanium watch is lighter of course, which I HATE, and the over all fit and finish just wasn't there. The actual finish on the titanium we very rough compared to pics of the gen I have seen. edited to add that the face of the AMG, though terraced, is flat. The I-beam pattern on the SS model is far more appealing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 @shultzie, where did you get the titanium buckle? did it come on the rep strap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
