An interesting beast
I have had a fixation/love for this brand for almost 10 years now. One thing I find is, the more time I spend in the world of watches, I continue to find strange variants of watches I thought I previously knew everything about!
The watch above is a 25721TI - the titanium version of the beast, but with a white/blue dial and blue tachymeter. I saw one for sale yesterday and did a double take. I personally like the combo a bit, and surely it is rare (anyone know prod numbers?). I believe 2,902 of the titanium beasts were ever produced in all variants. One significant design feature that caught my eye on this variant is the grand-tapisserie dial. The beast is known for being one of the only offshores ever made with the petit-tapisserie dial, while most offshores feature a mega-tapisserie. Seeing the grand pattern used here, I think it looks great, and just makes the watch even further unique. Not to mention, the silver minute track that provides some more contrasting. Overall, this is an eyecatching piece, and I'm glad to see they were made. I would love to try on a titanium offshore to see how the lighter weight feels versus a steel.

Is this not a pretty rare/limited piece?
I just now tried finding it because I remember seeing one of these with the navy blue and yellow and really really liking it!
The Jalan Bukit Bintang or known as the Kill Bill
Limited Edition of 100, Navy Blue and Yellow? this one? Source: watchcollectinglifestyle ...
Digging way back with this one, thanks Sal!
The JBB was the same, but yellow on black, yes? Long time since we have seen one posted.
Full bracelet Royal Oak Offshores in titanium definitely have a different feel than steel counterparts.
And it is not just the lighter weight. Sure, that attributes to feeling different, but something about the titanium is just different on the wrist. I have worn both over the years, and do prefer titanium.
Glad to hear!
Hopefully at some point soon I can try on a titanium one. I have tried a few stainless offshores on and enjoyed them, so hopefully titanium is even better like you say.
