The GS is very nice and I like the X33, maybe a later Skywalker!...are they a dive watch though?

The Ti Planet Ocean with blue dial is the best of the ones mentioned imo and i also loved the 176/177 on the rubberB for a beach watch.

Buy Terry's AGS: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=63901

It's incredibly comfortable to wear.

The Grand Seiko takes the cake for me. What an amazing watch. TItanium is such a great material I would like to see more watches made from it. The Sinn T2 looks great too and is nice and light.

Another option is a Gshock MRG. Not really a dive watch though. Only if youre a big Gshock fan though they are stupid expensive.

Not sure if the JLC NDA has been mentioned. Maybe my favorite Ti diver ever. Not really sure why I let mine go.

Good point. I thought the NSD was SS, but the NSA and NSC are Ti for sure.

I was going to suggest the Muhle Seebattalion as an option.

Just saw this one on IG, Oris Aquis in Ti:

Even with the proprietary lugs, I've always like the Aquis. Would be a nice summer watch with the rubber strap.

This is my favorite, by far. If you can find one, buy it. One of the best, if not the best case I have ever seen/worn. Amazingly comfortable, tough as nails and looks great. The lume, by the way, is nucleur! :grin:

Ball makes one with an internal bezel and around 44mm plus COSC. I owned one for a while. Nice weight but too wide and tall.

I very much appreciate this thread, gents, as I am also on the hunt for a somewhat muted styling, lightweight diver that can do double duty as both a tool watch and a timepiece that can show up at the Met without hiding its face.
