Or wood! Could use a birch Day-Date. Would make it easy to bring back bark finishing too.

I find it interesting that a number of members have said that titanium is soft and that it scratches easily. If that is true then why is titanium used in golf clubs, especially drivers? Professional golfers have swing speeds of over 110mph - I would think that they would destroy a titanium driver in one round of golf if it were either soft or brittle.

AFAIK, Titanium is anything but soft, but the oxide layer that forms on the surface of Titanium very much is, and scratches badly. One of my old japanese watches was Ti, and had large flat links, and even a minor scuff would scrape the dark grey titanium oxide off and expose the white metal TI underneath, which looked terrible.

Titanium superior strength to weight ratio

Magnesium does burn hot but it's pretty hard to get ignited in the first place.

Which is good because there have been so many case failures due to stainless steel's low strength and high weight...

it's coming... they're already using ceramic on bezels, why not go the Big Bang route all the way and fuse all sorts of weird crap together.
I like all different sorts of watches - but for me Rolex is best in 904.

Really cannot see an all Ti rolex.
Their use of steel is unprecedented in the watch industry.... Addintionally every time I went to buy a Ti watch, I just declined at the last moment, the light weight is strange |

Perhaps not case failures but performance hits. Take for instance a stenographer (court reporter) or a marksman. The weight of a steel watch might negatively affect job performance. |

Would that be grounds for summary judgment..?
