I gotta be honest, when I've tried on titanium watches at my AD, I can't really tell a difference. Like, I think I can tell a difference because I know one is supposed to be lighter, but in reality, it's not noticeable to me. The difference in weight is what, about 20%?
I write a similar post on forums about weapons that I'm on (Palantas is on many forums). The difference between a steel-framed 1911 and an aluminum-framed 1911 is about 20%, and I really can't tell the difference between one or the other that I'm wearing.
I'm not saying I don't believe other people when they say they can tell a difference, just that I can't. Maybe something's the matter with me. Anyone else like this?
EDIT: "1911" is a style of pistol, for people not educated in such matters.
Are there any Ti framed production 1911's out there? Any idea what the weight difference would be there? I know a shop near me will build one custom for around $2400...
edit--oops didn't read the rest of the thread.
Back on topic....I like Breitlings! Probably the steel bracelets a bit more.
