Calling all Titanium experts
Hey Gals and GuysDo you recall a time, not too long ago when Titanium was all the rage. There was the Apple Powerbook in Titanium. Indeed I still have one though its' hinges are a little worse for wear and it has long since been mothballed. We had titanium models in the Seamaster range of course. There was a Ti SMP diver and the Ti chronos and the X-33 is in titanium as well. Expensive of course but Titanium offers a superior strength to weight ratio in metals and is inert so anyone allergic to nickel would be able to wear Ti bracelets for instance.However you see very few examples of it in watches these days. This is probably associated with cost but I recall a dealer once advising me that Ti scratches easily. Armed with this knowledge, I thus make my Ti Seiko my beater of course I can barely see a scratch on it unless I look really hard by which time all that staring has made my eyes sore. A seller of a X-33 recently claimed that Ti was less susceptible to scratches. So I'm a litt

Longines vs. Tag vs. Omega newbie warning
Hello,I'm new to the whole luxury watch buying scene and My husband wanted to get me a nice peice of jewelry and I deicded I wanted a nice watch. I've worn the Swiss army watch I'm currently wearing through my undergrad and graduate school and it's still going strong with no visible scratches.With that said I want a watch I can wear everyday that won't go out of style in couple years, that has a feminine style and perhaps a little bling and that won't be destroyed if I wear it to the beach or the gym. I'd love to say it's a watch I want for my lifetime, but I'm fickle and will probably grow tired of it after five-ten years and want something different.I've been looking at the Longines hydroconquest with diamonds inside and outside the bezel, the Tag aquaracer with diamonds and the Omega aqua terra, which is a little out of our price range and seems more masculine to me. I've also been looking at the resale Rolex's but still a little out of range. I just can't decide which I like the be

Moon...to big for my skinny wrist?

Looking for GMT Master II
Hello AllI just joined the forum and am looking to replace my GMT I (SS and Gold, Black bezel, Jubilee bracelet) that I had bought used in 1991. I was mugged in December while in Buenos Aires on business and am looking to replace with the Master II, model 116713 (SS and Gold, Black bezel). I'm seeing prices all over the place on the web, both new and pre-owned. My insurance company could have replaced it for $10,591 but Rolex required the serial number, which I didn't know and had never written down. So I'm on the hunt for a replacement. Any thoughts as to new vs used? Best price? Reputable dealers/sellers? Any info would be appreciated.ThanksShawn
