Differences between ROO 26170TI and ROO 26470ST Elephant
Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to decide between the Elephant and the Elephant Ti. Besides the obvious difference in weight, sheen (titanium being slightly darker/duller) and red-highlights on the Ti dial. Are there any other differences on the dial in terms of color, treatment etc? Or is the dial exactly the same? Do they look the same? If given a choice - which one would you opt for? Ti: https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/wa....OO.1000TI.01/ Elephant: https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/wa....OO.A104CR.01/ |

Nope. I'm aware the that Ti might also have rubber pushers and crown but not too concerned about that either. For me the look is important, legibility and fit. I'm aware that the elephant is available on a grey strap while Ti is available on a Ti bracelet.

elephant no question. Its by far my favorite 42mm ROO chronograph. Current production or otherwise. I had the 44mm Ti and i did feel like the color of the titanium would be better suited to a watch without a grey dial. Great watch but its less contrasting than SS would be.

If you are looking at something with even more contrast have you seen the model that is set to start hitting stores next month?

Don't forget rubber vs ceramic pushers and fat vs slimmer arabic numbers...

Indeed - but I don't think they will impact the overall look of the dial/watch. I am more interested in knowing if the Ti looks duller compared to the SS. This could be due to the dial or the lack of contrast between titanium and the grey within the dial.

I much prefer the Elephant with new modern touches.

The red accents make the dial pop a little bit more looking from close distance, but saw a few in person and I can say that Ti looks definitely warmer (or as you say duller) and less shinny than SS...
