I love this watch, thank you for the photos. I much prefer both design and size of this one over the 45mm version.
BTW I saw some internal TAG brochure with this watch at AD here in Slovakia and expected pricing was exactly the same as 45 mm model. I hope that final price would be at least a bit lower than 45 mm version.

 

In the picture above, the black lettering on silver titanium bezel seems to be in a "bold", thicker, larger font; on the other hand with the non-titanium models, the white lettering on black bezel seems to have a thinner font. The same thing occurs with the 45mm Heuer 01 models (see the upcoming 45mm titanium model).

I don't like the thicker font on the titanium watches. I do wish TAG Heuer would use the same thin font from the other models.

 

I really like the titanium version, although the anthracite dial looks good. For me it needs a skeleton dial thou, otherwise it's just another Carrera chrono, and there's a lot of those already.

 

A user on another web forum posted some photos of the Heuer 01 43mm at an authorized dealer. That anthracite dial is off the hook.

It's not as eccentric as the skeleton version, but a nice evolution from the current 43mm version.
I'm guessing we will have a nice limited edition Monaco Grand Prix derived from it.

 

Having just purchased the skeleton watch, I may be somewhat biased... but I really don't like these on first impression. I think the skeleton watch works because it was an all new case with an all new 'face', whereas this looks like an old Carrera face put into the skeleton case. I may eat those words when I see them in the flesh (I thought the Tudor Pelagos looked nice until I actually saw one!) but right now I'm not digging them. I wonder if the strap is the same, because it would explain why the lugs don't seem to fit properly as the case is smaller... surely not? I think the titanium is the worst of all though...

 

What's so wrong with titanium? For me it's the material of choice!

 

Nothing really, just looks wrong. The black bezel sets off the strap, so without it it looks a bit... meh.
Having said that, these watches are already growing on me a bit...

 

I'm wearing the Connected for the last three weeks and I'm still not convinced about that black rubber strap being a good idea. Not on a non waterproof watch anyways.

 

I like the titanium version, but I wouldn't get it on the rubber strap. The way that strap flares to the outside edge of the lugs adds to much bulk for me.

That said, I'm really not sold on any of the new Heuer 01 models. I much prefer the LE 1887s that I have (CAR2112, CAR2A12).
