Very nice!
Is this grade 23 titanium? How does it differ from the more usual grades 2 and 5?

Jon

I believe grade 23 is tweak of grade 5, a medical grade that is slightly more ductile so less prone to chipping or cracking

What's missing for me rn is a titanium bathyscaphe chrono with the black dial from the ceramic model....
