Conratulations ! the Ti FF is absolutely drop dead beautiful ! I wish the TI bracelet version had launched earlier, I would have taken it over the steel any day.

Both of mine have the standard sailcloth strap with a deployant and They are comfortable and straps wear like iron. The only fly in the ointment for most is that to change the strap you need a pair of special tools. They don't use spring bars which is also a plus in my mind. Tools can be had cheap on Ebay or much more expensive from Blancpain. Enjoy them

I thought that, despite lacking the anitimagnetic cage of the closed back, steel version, the titanium versions were also antimagnetic by virtue of their silicone mainsprings ?

I got my bracelet removal tools from Amazon- Wera 118062 .9mm hex screwdrivers -$4.97 each. So only a $10 ointmented fly, and I've switched between bracelet and straps many times.
