    Which version looks better?
    I like the black dial... but I also like the weight of titanium.

    I'm holding out hope they release a titanium version without the orange rubber in the bezel.

    If weight is your only concern go with the black dial. You will learn to live with the added weight. Enjoy!

    what does the rubber on the bezel have to do with sweat?

    My slight problem with the Ti is that grey dial.. I don't think it contrasts enough with the bracelet. I like there to be a contrast to help the dial stand out . So from an aesthetic point of view I like both the black dial and blue dial stainless steel versions more. However I take your point on the weight factor. It's quite significant when on the bracelet .

    I would not worry about the weight, you get used to it very quickly. Go with what you like, and how important having a Ti watch to you is.

    I took a look at both the TI model and Black/Orange model. My decision? The TI model. The grey dial looks classier than it appears on pics. I suggest that you take a look at both models offline(compare side by side. I was fortunate enough to see both at once as the boutique I visited had one pc of each) if not done already.

    I like both but I decided for stainless version at the end. All my co-workers said that the black one looks better, because of the glossy black dial.

    Beautiful piece. Is it pretty light compared to the steel model? I love my PO because it's quite beefy and heavy.

    It still does have some weight to it but it sure does feel lighter than the steel one. That is one of the reasons why I decided to go with this model.
