And you found it by yourself.
A matter of taste, my friend.
As you said, both are appealing, but the Base ( 176 ) may appear a bit stronger with its very clean look.
And these 4 magic numbers : 12, 3, 6, 9!
The Titanium gives to the Luminor ( Marina ) a very sober and elegant look, but the SS is not ugly, by far!
So, try them all, and you will easily see which one sings louder to your wrist and heart.
Welcome here, by the way!
Please keep us updated, and post pics, too!
Best.
Nicolas
