Sheer perfection in total simplicity. Awesome.

I like the steel version best. I prefer the heft of a SS watch to that of a Ti watch, especially so on strap only. Both dials seem equally as cool.

But I have to say... wearing that watch on a nato... ? That I do not get. I mean I know it's a nice nato, but still.......... :scratch:

Good luck with your new watches, guys. Killer. :thumbsup:

Voted for steel.

I can't help it - there's just something off on the proportions of this watch to my eye. I'm sure it's extremely well made, though. Go for it if it floats your boat!

Adam, you're the original BadAss of DWC but let me throw my .02 cents in, i dont think that bitchin' watch looks very good in TI. Save some money for straps. booze or lap dances... not necessarily in that order!! :fro:

I really don't get it either :shrug: . Like I said in another post, most of the haters have never even seen one.
My problem is the hands. Never liked that style. Some normal looking hands on the watch and it would be a thumbs up.

And.....Steel!
cheers,

Does the Ti version have any other upgrades? Curious because Ti is a relatively inexpensive metal to charge $1500 extra for?

Uglier dial. That's it.

I'm a huge Ti fan, but I'd personally go the steel after looking at and the your pics Adam. Jules

It definitely has U1 style hands but I like them better on this watch.

Missed that. Definitely prefer the polished hands. Blancpain trying to go tactical is like Paris Hilton trying to go camping.

Steel, no contest for me... the Ti kinda has a cheap look to it for some reason, then again it could be the photos. I have not seen it int he metal.
Either way, you are getting a great piece!

A friend of mine who got to molest both versions at Basel told me that the titanium was the one to get. Apparently it was uber impressive in the metal.

Based on the pictures, I'd go titanio as well. That mofo looks evil.
I don't see your name on the list.
