Which Offshore to Get? (Ghost vs 26480Ti)

[hchiyan0925]

Hi All!

I've always liked the look of the legacy offshores and with the introduction of the new 43mm, I thought now would be the time to get in on them from the boutique before they get discontinued/replaced.

Having narrowed my options down, it's now neck and neck between the Ghost and the 26480Ti. Both are titanium and quite the typical offshore look.

I am attracted to the Ghost for its classic 42mm layout (i.e the Arabic numerals and magnified date window etc), but the 26480Ti is quite special in its own right, as it's got the 44mm pushers, in a 42mm case size (which is as big as I can go, tried on the 43mm and its a little bit too chunky and also a little bit out of budget currently).

I've compiled some other benefits of each watch in my eyes, but would appreciate any input or feedback from the owners of each!

Ghost:
- Ceramic Bezel
- Easier to match colored straps
- More familiar look to me
- Open case back

26480Ti:
-Slightly Cheaper
-Thinner
-Could be unique as it's a one-off reference that probably will not be reproduced ever
-44mm pushers look quite cool

Also, if any owners would be kind enough to chime in, does the 26480Ti come with the wide tang buckle off the diver? or the narrow one that comes off the 26470xx series of offshores?

Happy to hear your thoughts!
