It's definitely a very cool material. I like Tungsten. Back in high school, our bathroom pass was a big heavy wedge of tungsten carbide.

Types of Titanium: Which is "Better"
By: cazalea : August 3rd, 2021-16:59
Having been a titanium freak for some decades now, I took note of Cookies' report on a new G-P watch where he commented on the grade of titanium G-P used - implying Grade 5 was better than Grade 2. I have materials handbooks, reference guides, and piles o...

Wow, it was a very good read. It was deep, scientific and informative. I didn’t know there were so many grades and your article taught me more about the properties of this unique metal. Equally impressed by your collection of titanium watches and tools. I...

Do u notice any difference in hue between the titanium grades. I only had experience with 1 titanium piece - the JLC Navy Seals. It seemed to take a blueish hue underwater, which I was surprised to see. I’m waiting for a grade 2 titanium Omega in 2 weeks ...

I didn't make it all up -- just assembled the data from multiple sources. Back in the early Seventies I operated a huge hydraulic press and helped make the first titanium buoys for the US Coast Guard. I've read about and collected titanium objects since t...
Which titanium is your favourite?

Cazalea made me read up everything I could on this technical topic. There was a lot of material to cover. And then he posted the pic of his wonderful MIH watch - I like that piece so much.
Good post

This is great for reading back when i need it. I have no titanium watch, but it is a matter of time when some titanium watches are in my watch collection. Polished steel, that is the common material my collection made of.
Fun topic! I do think grade 5 is actually superior though for a watch..

I'm going from memory on previous research so feel free to correct me but surface treatments aside, grade 5 will be lighter, stronger, harder, and finish better (less porous) than grade 2. I think about the only functional benefit of grade 2 is a slightly...
That’s what I found too

Spent some time researching on the properties of the pure version (G2) vs the alloyed variant (G5). I’ll have some comparison soon when my G2 titanium piece is delivered in a few weeks. I’m not so fearful of scratching it, but only gripe is if I frequentl...

That would make a hair pulling read. I’m sure u’ve went through your share of hair pulling legal textbooks.
