No Titanium for Rolex watch?

[Teogc]

Wondering why there isn't any Titanium model made for Rolex?

Buy other brands if you are looking for exotic materials.

Rolex is a very conservative company, they usually won't go into new materials very often. They are best friends with Gold and SS, that's all I can say.

The only titanium is the caseback of DeepSea at the moment.

They use titanium for the tudor pelagos and I read that some said it is dull & ugly and wished it comes in SS...

For expensive watches especially, the general acceptance is lower for titanium as compared with SS, and rolex produce watches for the masses, you know...

Actually, I'm wondering if this might happen for Basel World 2013.

For the past few years, improvements have been made to the movements and bracelets. Then came the ceramic bezels.

Could the next big think be the introduction of exotic materials? Maybe not titanium but ceramic, tungsten carbide or DLR coated cases?

How about carbon fibre for the case? Like what they do for supercars's bodies?

[lolex kia]

what about bronze - perhaps this should be considered too

Nah...more likely carbon fibre dials, hands, etc...cos although carbon fibre is very strong/tough & light as in bodies of F1 cars, but it's kinda brittle & snaps easily for the casing to be able to take on hard knocks imho?
