Junkers Ti Pilot ETA 2824-2

Got it from Marc (IW) at longislandwatch.com

On a full Ti bracelet to say that it is lite is understating things, other than the movement there is no steel.

42 mm case with 22mm lugs

That is all I really know.

Great looking timepiece Eric. I bet it glows well in the dark too. I've never been much for titanium, but after getting your titanium Lupah, I'm starting to change my tune.

The lume is great, and the weight is great.  The bracelet has solid end links at the clasp, and the clasp is solid Ti.  It has some nice features the dial is even Ti from info I got off of Yunkers website.  The red second hand does not suck either.  Thanks

Lupah, I'm starting to change my tune.

Mike what happened to your post when I tried to Quote your post?

All I had at the time was a stainless mm ruler but I got about 42.5mm on the case and 22mm lug width.  The bracelet looked like it tapered to 20mm but don't hold me to it, I did not measure it.

Mark it is a great piece, the Ti is going to come in handy when doing any job where my arms have to be held up and stable for long times.  I use to take my watch off to help out.  Thanks

Any worries re: the Ti's softness??
I have a Ti Pulsar that looks like crap from semi-rough use.
And any job that requires your arms elevated for too long is no good...

Yes you do, I was out in the wind yesterday using an optical level and thought it was a good time to try out my sweater.  The watch is great and thanks.

Try getting a set of Bergoen refinishing blocks and you can learn how to put a brushed finish on the Ti, and be able to maintain it.  It is not the same as the blasted finish but it would be a new skill and for $15 a block that is not bad.  They last forever if you treat them right and for no more use than you will give them.

Thanks for the idea, Eric. I'm not overly attached to the Pulsar so it would be a good learning experience.

Mark

Here is a link to some tools the Omega fiber pad at the bottom is great and just the right consistency.  A scotch bright may work have never tried it.  The Omega pad just mimics the finish they use.
