        I have done a little bit of research, the black dial one which is  ref 3710/1a is probably a better watch.  It retains the original monoblock case design (more modern version have a 3-part case with sapphire caseback), and is only 8mm thick even though it has the IZR complication….

          I don't see any value added to having the movement assembled by hand, by a single watchmaker.  It smells of marketing BS to justify low volume and high prices.

          It is bull. You can regulate a £28 Russian hand wound watch to be 2 seconds a day out, not service it for ten years and it still bloody runs fine lol. The Swiss are professional con artists

            Yeah, this is a multi-generational heirloom watch. With this and a dress watch, you are set for life. Just as iconic as the AP Royal Oak but a lot less in-your-face. Great find.

                      I was in Melbourne today and spotted the Casio G-Shock in titanium. It looks similar to the steel version, but is significantly lighter. The PVD coating gives it a rubber look.

                      There was also the digital camouflage version.

                      I like them both, though they're two and a half times the price of the steel version. The crystal has been upgraded to sapphire instead of mineral glass, and the salesman reckoned that they're better finished.

                        They're both way cool. But I think you're only allowed to wear the camo if this is your ride:

                              I like that camo one way more than I would've expected, but that is a lot of money for G Shock.

                                For a watch like the G-shock, I think plastic is a better case material. Lightweight, durable, cheaper, and the thing is already fugly so it's not like it changes the aesthetic. YMMV, $0.02, etc

                                Think it, be it.

                                  They make a similar blue ti Gshock that’ve drooled over for almost a year now. Really well done.

                                        Such a great watch.  Glad you are putting it through its paces.

                                            The Rolex Daytona, GMT Master, Sky Dweller, and possibly the Submariner. I don't know about the Yacht Master.

                                            The Patek Philippe Nautilus and also the Aquanaut.

                                            I don't know about the Royal Oak, but I think that some models are scarce.
