It's the titanium model, so it is super light and may be the most comfortable watch I own (and I own a Patek Aquanaut!). In addition, this is the smaller 37.8mm size which works out extremely well for my smaller wrist size. I've never been a fan of oversized watches, so to have such a robust watch with 2,000 feet of water resistance in such a compact space is simply incredible! I've seen some of the Omega videos tha

The wait begins!
Thank you for all your help in helping me find my next timepiece!! Pictures in 3-4 days!(I already changed my avatar!)
