I have two watches that are identical except that one is sand blasted titanium and the other is stainless steel. (TAG aquaracer calibre 5 41mm, ones white/silver dial with the stainless bezel, the other a Bamford edition) The blasted titanium one is a collaboration model with a UK designer, I can wear it but it has to be sized properly or I don't get on with it, and I tend to prefer wearing the stainless steel model of the same watch.

The stainless version I can get away with wearing a little looser on the bracelet.

I also have a little Seiko sq100 kinetic titanium from the early 90s that I was gifted, it feels objectively cheap compared to similarly sized stainless Seiko watches I own.

Given the choice, I'd go for a good quality stainless steel watch over a similarly sized titanium one, but I'm yet to try a grand Seiko in, so they might swing me.

I'm into Seiko vintage quartz watches, so yeah I have a few.

There's a world of difference between a well made, heavily jeweled, engineered metal movement with a quartz ocilator and a cheap throw away quartz movement. The issue is many can't differentiate between the two.

I was going to, and then I bought another diver from the Prospex line at the weekend, so I probably won't. 

These are a cheap (relative) entry into GMT ownership though.  I know it's just a caller GMT movement, but it's a £400 watch, what exactly was expected?

TwoBrokeWatchSnobs did this first, they coined the phrase "watchfast"  The idea is that a single watch for a month gives you a finer appreciation of the piece.  I did my Christopher Ward Sealander C63 for a month solid.  I like the watch, after a month I loved it, and now I won't part with it.

For reference, I currently own 32 watches, they tend to get relatively rotated, some get more wrist time then others.

Yeah it's marked as SEIKO but it's not made by them.

I'd like to add a 6r35 movement to it eventually, they're still expensive though.

Because they never made this case with a peacock dial like this one (that's what it's sold as) I don't feel as bad using a branded dial and a lesser movement.   Never seen the point of building a watch you can buy 🤣

thing is, there's quartz, and then there's quartz, if you know what I mean? 

When you understand how a good, a good quartz movement can be, you'll inevitably start to appreciate them more.

And when it comes to good quartz, no one does it as well as the Japanese.

I'm building a watch up using an MM200 reduced case at the moment so once that's done this will get some attention 😊
