路I don't think it's going to get better. The 40mm without the cyclops will be better, but too small... 馃

路I'd be heavily considering some of them but that cyclops truly ruins the watch for me, just can't not focus on it anytime I see a photo of one
I wonder if this looks better in the metal?
I agree, everytime I see that cyclops and date at 6, it ruins the watch for me. Based on the photos online, I will definitely buy a black bay not an aquaracer next

I think it could work, the hexagonal design of that *cough*otherfamouslydesignedwatch*cough* actually makes it wear larger than you expect. Though it could have been the integrated bracelet... but I tried on a friend's 41mm 15500ST last year and it felt shockingly huge.
I wonder if this looks better in the metal?
I will say that I do intend to find out, once I've completed my second shot + the 2 weeks of antibody development. I also need to go see the new Black Bays too.

Well I mean, it's titanium. But yeah given that it's a cheapo SW200 inside...

路Why are all Titanium TAGs 拢1000 more than the steel ones.... my Calibre 16 Carrera had a list price near 拢4500, which is insane! My mate had a titanium Seiko that cost 拢200 so it's obviously nothing to do with the material.

路Probably why they're still available. That and the confused design.

路And the fact they did a vintage diver tribute for vintage fans... in 43mm

路Yes, that's what I mean about confused design. It's an OK looking watch, but is it for fans of the vintage piece? With faux lume and the red numbers on the dial. But on the other hand, they haven't tried that hard to make it look like a Monin - it's basically just one of the new Aquaracers in 43mm aside from those two details.
they could have at least no-date鈥檇 or, or even no-cyclops鈥檇 it

There are different grades of titanium. Some are easier to work with than others so there will be real cost differences.
Then there is the perception that titanium is 'better' so you get the marketing cost difference.
