26400: SS or TI ???

Hi all,

I have been thinking of getting a 44mm ROO for some time now...

However, I am stuck between the discontinued White/Silver dial SS model and the current Gray dial TI model.

I have only seen/tried the current Gray dial TI model, and I must say I do love the lightweight-ness and the color.

I guess my questions are:

Does the TI really save the case from battle scars? (I tend to baby my watches anyways)

Will the Gray TI case eventually darken over the years (oxidize)?

And how much heavier is the SS model? (I don't mind a heavier watch and SS is several grand cheaper)


Thanks for all the input and advice!

I personally like the SS version as the face is light silver almost white and like the contrast with the sub dials. I never tried on the grey ti so take it for what its worth. I dont think you can go wrong.

I had the chance to decide between those two pieces as well. I have tried on both and in the end I chose the SS. It is substantially heavier IMO. But, I love the dial. The TI is very nice too and you can’t go wrong for choosing it. Would love to own both, but I have never regretted choosing the SS.
