Can you compare the two? I know the Titanium is lighter, but any other pros and cons SS vs Titanium having owned and worn both? Thanks!

I really like the titanium version. It wears a lot more comfortably than the stainless version because it’s lighter. I switch back and forth between my BLNR and this and notice very little difference. I had the micro-adjust clasp on the stainless PO but I haven’t bothered with the Ti version. It seems to fit me well without it.
It doesn’t seem to mark any easier than stainless, in fact it might show fewer scratches. I really like the colour of titanium version. It’s a bit more understated with less orange on it. You can usually find them used between $4000 and $4500. DavidSW had one for $4475 a few days ago. I don’t know if it’s still available. I highly recommend this watch. I’m really pleased with mine.
Edit: I just checked and the one for sale on DavidSW is a 46mm
