caring for titanium
To those who have (or had) Ti watches, how did you care for them? Did you allow them to patina or did you polish them? Any does or don'ts you can share?

Let the titanium be. Uniform scratches make it look great. I had a pam176 and it was impossible to keep pristine. It'll age nicely.

Ti doesn't really patina... At all. Unless you really, really force it. Just enjoy it

I agree with Mike also.
Over time, they get a slightly deeper, smooth grey tint. |
