Me neither, will give me some more time to save up for it as it's expensive (really).

Initial feel of titanium bracelet isn't very positive but I think it'll grow on me/you after a while.

At first glance, it looks to "grayish" for a bracelet. What are your thoughts?

Edit: Or are you talking about this (bracelet pulling hair)???

那灰色的反射效应是自然的。
钛金本身就与白钢有些光泽，反射上的差别。再加上STEINHART海洋系列的表壳，表带，都没有抛光，采用微刷纹，因此看起来就会微显暗淡，不比其他市面上“水鬼”致敬款来得“靓眼”。
抛光有抛光的好，也有抛光的差。时装表款有抛光加持的话，就会吸引目光。用在错的表款，只会叫表主一只两眼注视其表看是否有撞花的痕迹。。。碍眼嘛。。。

在这里我要直言了。。。
有些表友花了一笔大数目，买入“捞叻水鬼”款。有些有抛光，有些没。带上手，好有气派呀。但是有多少这些"捞叻之士"是真真正正买那表来当每日报时伙伴呢？有一天你那手腕上的平价表，撞到平凡到不能再平凡的“捞叻之士”水鬼，第一反应又会是如何？会是招来一声臭骂？还是一面微笑，互相道歉呢？

My Seiko titanium bracelet does look a bit grey. It's warm to the touch. Initial feel is that it's too light to be a metal watch, feels more like a plastic watch. Surprisingly, it can withstand scratches better than my other SS watches.

I read a suggestion about the time being magnetized. A cheap demagnetizer slowed it down.

Gosh! It's a known problem and they have not fixed it? Guess I shall put my purchase off.

Are you going to get the OT 500? I might be interested, maybe we could share the shipping costs?

Actually what's with the GMT hand?

Some issued with the timing accuracy of the gmt hand and the gmt hand moving along with the hour and min hand as you set the time...
I guess that's because these brands are using modded eta movement

It's normal. Titanium is more grey and very very light. Tried some titanium pieces before like the AP ROO the weight of steel and titanium piece are really significantly different.
But IMO the scratches on titanium is a concern. Cos scratches on titanium are more obvious than for steel. And polishing would require special equipment which means normal shops won't be able to polish titanium
