26238ti APROO Chronograph (Beast) pros and cons

Hi All!

I’m looking for input and personal experiences with the 26238ti. On paper, it has a number of features that I would find interesting: Storied brand, modern interpretation of the icon that is the “Beast”, titanium, interchangeable strap/bracelet system, useful complication and suitable for daily wear. I have a wrist that is 7.5-7.75 inches and don’t think it would be overpowering in that regard. Any comments for or against based on in-person experiences or ownership?

I think it's awesome; with the quick-change bracelet and lighter weight it should be even more wearable than its older cousin. The movement has a slight issue (chrono minute hand starts creeping forward) that a fraction of people needed to get fixed, although there are recent reports claiming that the latest production/fixes are now ok. I'd see what the SA has to say about how they would handle that.

I love my 26238TI. Perfect fit on my 7.625” wrist.

So light and confortable. Perfect daily wearer. Has this nice vintage touch. I own it since 1 year and still in love with it :-)
I have a big hand so watch fit it nicely

I have the 25th re-issue not ti but similar. Love mine but were mostly on rubber strap. Works better for me than the bracelet.

I have the 25th anniversary and just reached out to my SA about getting the new one. The bracelet is great, but it just feels to be a bit much wearing it after a while. I'm looking to go quick, exchangeable strap all day with it.

Other than that, great watch.
