Ti SMP today


This must be the new arrival, right Brice?  Big congrats!!!...Looks fantastic!!!  thumbsup.gif

I'm guessing that the SMP in titanium is amazingly light as a feather on the wrist, no?


thank you Buddy!
Indeed new arrival. Bought it Sat and arrived yesterday.
Dial and Ti case/bracelet darker than I expected. But the watch is well built and it came with all the goodies. Was bought from
an AD earlier this year. Still had red dot, all the cards, mint boxes, book... Good set. Just some blemishes on
Ti which is to be expected and unfortunately a scratch on bezel at 5 min maker but can oy see it at some angles. So great piece overall.
When I put it on yesterday I was very surprised about how light it is!!! I can't even feel it on the wrist. This morning I held my 2254 in one hand and this 2238 in the other... And wow!!! The 2254 is already fairly light but this one is like a feather compared to it. Seems impossible!
Now I really need a Great White to complete the collection!:) just missed on a 4th one:(

cheers. Brice


Very cool Brice...this sample looks great indeed!   I only own one titanium cased watch (and actually my only quartz watch...it's a Tissot T-Touch with the tactile sapphire crystal)...and agree with you, the titanium tends to have a much darker finish, but does vary depending on the finish used.

Thanks for the feedback regarding this one wearing light as a feather on the wrist...I expected that it would be almost unnoticeable on the wrist like you said.

Hey...if you end up completing that trifecta with the Great White, we may have to start referring to you as Omegaman!!!!dog smile.gif  You are on quite a roll there buddy!!!  Enjoy!!!
