Increasingly intrigued by the black dial non-NATO strap Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. Had thought the all blacked out ceramic iteration was the only way to go but having tried the titanium and rose gold versions all at the same time has left me unsure. They ...  

I would hesitate between the titanium and the rose gold. And I would go for the titanium. Why? First because black watches are not my taste. I find them too trendy. And I'd fear to get rid of it quite quickly. Rose gold is cool, but ks it really consisten...
