I prefer the darker one, the true Platinum color ! I’m waiting for you to release this watch to get it 👏🏽

[redbeard]

Please keep the titanium dark and add a scratch protection coating/treatment. People who want titanium watches do not want them to look like steel - they would just buy the steel version for less.

Prefer darker but is playing scratch resistant?

[larrysolien]

I prefer the electroplating platinum coating, so it looks closer to stainless steel instead of the darker look of titanium. The brushed and polished finishing on the titanium case looks great too! 👍

[MyRetroWatches]

An interesting concept. Lightness of titanium with the brightness of plating.
I am interested in the scratch proofing coating brands are now using.
Any plans for San Martin to use this.

I would worry that the electroplating would wear off over time.

original Ti color for the titanium case

[DotyString]

Fix the sharp edges on your bracelets. Just a tip

[MPiKMS]

Its an interesting idea. Does it add any effective scratch resistance? I'm not sure it would be a big seller to those who like titanium but it would be worth trying a limited edition run in platinum plating.

[donbennett]

no plating for me. just true titanium.

[FinFu]

更喜歡本色，感覺既然都是鈦，就讓他彰顯他的本色嘛

電白金除了顏色外有別的意義嗎？

i would like to se new Baltany mecaquartz flieger with this case material 😁😁😁

[baloosd]

can you electroplate the titanium with a gold color? i would be all over that!

[tomaszsawicki]

Is this case for upcoming pelagos homage?

[samwang]

NO need for extra plating on Ti because it will partially wear off over time and the watch will look bad. I would rather have the watch full of scratches. It adds character to the watch.

Beautiful. Please put Seiko mechaquartz in more of your models!

Titanium ❤❤❤
Platinum plated .... not good

[goldfools]

Platinum is an exotic metal where Titanium is not. I don’t think titanium looks that good. Besides the weight advantage over steel, I am not sure why it is desirable. So to plate a watch to look like steel, why not just get steel.
Now if it was solid Platinum, it would be extremely exotic and expensive.
