z3k0 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 This looks like SS to me : what do you guys think ? It would be such a shame if they can't make this one in Ti regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 It seems that Ti reps are history now. I'm certainly holding onto my Ti GST and chrono Avenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is not, they show the ss (in white) nd the Ti (in yellow) on the same page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAS Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 True, i've never seen a SS bracelet with yellow markers? Only the Slevin comes with Bracelet. But I still prefer the yellow ... even if it's a fantasy version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Yes, no SS yellow version. I was wrong because the information on the web page is not clear. However, Joshua told me some weeks ago that this yellow version will be ready with SS and coated with a layer of titanium, in February.

SAS Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Titanium coated !! Doesn't mean anything, Titanium isn't platinium as far as I know. prefer fantasy SS rather than TI coated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've just asked Josh' and he answered me : "The maker does not want to make this watch in Ti" So I'm gonna have to buy the SS version, cause I've been waiting for this one for a long time.

What a shame. So our role is to check whether the brushed SS is close to Titanium. We know that the weight is going to be different, but perhaps the appareance not. is possible to withdraw any conclusions from the pictures? Next week I am going to visit an AD. I will try to help.

Francisco Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 These are the best pictures of the gen that I have found. I hope they help to make a comparison brushed SS vs. titanium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to make new dial also, Ti and SS versions have different hour markers (like @k2222 already pointed out). I wouldn't be surprised if the "maker" decides that this dial is "good enough" for both versions regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
