Yes, the background is a closeup of crystal and the cylinder is raw titanium

The watches and things are sitting on a slab of titanium and there’s another piece at the back. I go overboard sometimes …

The WS for the 21st of May - ‘Favorite metal’ is live
By: KMII : May 21st, 2021-12:43
As written in the introductory post, this week’s WS will revolve around your favorite metals used in watch construction, with pieces demonstrating the principle. While the title states metal, all other materials are welcome, too (as long as you claim them...
Titanium, Tantalum and Platinum
By: NT931 : May 21st, 2021-12:47
Because they rhyme! I enjoy the lightness of titanium, especially on this "Sakura" GS. Such a joy on the wrist, and Seiko manages to polish Ti in a way that makes it glow. Tantalum, for that distinctive blue-ish grey hue that complements the dial of the C...
Two Ts and a P 😁
By: KMII : May 21st, 2021-19:12
I could not agree more - three fantastic choices.
Thanks Yacomino!
By: KMII : May 21st, 2021-19:13
Glad you like the strap - enjoy cashmere ones 😊👍🏻

That silver BB58 is awesome!
By: NT931 : May 21st, 2021-14:06
I've been thinking of one, but worried about patina. I have to say, the combo of the silver case with the dial is a winner for me!
Thank you 😊
By: Watchonthewrists : May 21st, 2021-22:04
That is a wide selection indeed…
By: KMII : May 21st, 2021-19:16
As always the choice you present is astounding! And there’s something in every metal, or more correctly every material 👍🏻👌🏻 That palladium is a really superb choice!
Thanks for your kind words my friend.
By: Watchonthewrists : May 23rd, 2021-08:02
And i agree with you on the Tudor , its a bold move to use a silver case imho but i love it . Definitely one i needed to add . And tbh its better looking in person
Thanks 😊
By: Watchonthewrists : May 23rd, 2021-10:50
Superb choices, all!
By: KMII : May 21st, 2021-19:18
And I see we have the penchant for the same strap maker 😁👍🏻👌🏻
My pleasure 🙏...

I only have SS and titanium watches. If i have to choose...
By: aWtchslvr : May 21st, 2021-17:55
I choose the titanium ones. Because its lightness, discreet gray hue and warmth. When I put them early in the morning they are at a comfortable temperature. Well, by now my son enjoys the plastic Flik Flak. ...
That FlikFlak shot is so wonderful!
By: KMII : May 21st, 2021-19:22
Passing on the hobby to the next generation 👍🏻👌🏻 And couldn’t agree more on the titanium. Also on the temperature comment 👏🏻

By: hewitgar : May 23rd, 2021-22:19
It would be the 5070P. That’s my winner. But it isn’t easy, I grant you...!
Titanium everything.
By: Fastwong : May 21st, 2021-19:26
I'm a fan, lighter, stronger, more scratch resistant, if I have to wear or carry it I want it to be titanium. ...

This Meißen Senator is by far and away . . .
By: Dr No : May 22nd, 2021-17:39
. . . the most beautiful in my collection, if only on account of the exquisite hand-painted porcelain dial. The cal 49 movement isn't half bad, either.
Well it’s pretty spectacular IMO!
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 22nd, 2021-23:01
We need more reference like that one! Hang on to that one my friend! It’s a special one!
Very cool 😎...

You should be known hence forth as “Steely Dan” m.youtube.com
Steely Dan, or . . .
By: Dr No : May 22nd, 2021-14:29
. . . Steel Panther? Glam rules! On a more serious note, I've run into Jeff Baxter twice at the Rainbow Bar and Grill. On both occasions he was wearing a kilt and tam o' shanter.
The GO? Gorgeous dial and movement, pleasantly heavy . . .
By: Dr No : May 23rd, 2021-15:20
. . . but difficult to wear with a t-shirt and jeans. It looks like I'll be going to at least one semi-formal event later this year (in Texas of all places), so the Meißen will get a day or three on my wrist. 👔
I like two-tone

Somehow it captures the nostalgic vibes of the 80’s. Have not worn this in a while, but this post inspired me to take her out for a spin today. ...
Very cool shot!
By: KMII : May 22nd, 2021-05:51
And a nice memento of a time that is - at least as far as watches go - returning 👍🏻
Great choices!

Simple, stealthy but so much cred.

On the subject of the Bond Omega…
By: KMII : May 23rd, 2021-04:57
I find the watch extremely pleasant on the wrist but the bracelet seems to be very wrist size and shape dependent - on mine it’s very uncomfortable for instance 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks a lot for the kind words Abel!
By: KMII : May 23rd, 2021-04:55
I fully see where you’re coming from with some of the more novel materials. I sometimes get the impression that putting an interesting name out counts more than actual benefits. Not always - ceramics I clearly see the advantages of, for instance but there...
Hello dear KM!! My pleasure to comment on your beautiful watches...
By: Subexplorer : May 23rd, 2021-13:23
... straps and photos. Yes, you get my point about new materials. May be some day I will surrender to the beauty of them. Regarding bronze: I like the looks, their warmth and the heft. I’m not sure about the patina though. Specially about heavy greenish k...
Same thing for me…
By: KMII : May 23rd, 2021-15:49
Much prefer the watches to stay more or less like at the start. I think Tudor did a great job with the new silver case of the BB58, which should not acquire the standard silver patina 👍🏻
Hello dear Abel ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 23rd, 2021-08:46
I see that amongst this superb collection of metals you have been building a collection of bronze watches. I predict a world shortage of bronze ;-)) Best regards The Captain
LOL ! ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 23rd, 2021-13:52
Other metals are under threat !
Steel & plastic!

There are others - but they've yet to arrive. Cheers JML ...
Two fantastic choices, Timeout!

I wasn’t aware that Moser was playing with titanium - but a very pleasant surprise indeed 👌🏻
Endeavor Dual Time Tourbillon

Yes - it came out in 2015. Limited edition of 20 - I managed to get #1 It shipped with a carbon black strap which I swap out for their Kudu strap for the summer. The dial tends to pick up the reflected color of the strap as you can see from this photo ...

Thanks a lot HS111!
By: KMII : May 24th, 2021-04:54
The strap does make for a nice contrast to the watch, I find 😊👍🏻
Is it too late? Ceramic is my favorite!

Never too late ! ..

That’s a very cool ceramic AP Royal Oak.
Very kind of you sir..

I think I’m not the only one whom would love a full ceramic 15202, Karl Lagerfeld homage edition! But instead of PVD a dull ceramic edition. Cheers Peter
