I looked it up it is Scalmalloy an aluminium alloy developed for 3D printing. The Titanium they say it is stronger than is commercially pure rather than the high strength alloys, not sure whether it needs hydraulic compression to consolidate to get the strength. Aluminium starts off around 60% the density of Titanium, so yes, almost half the weight but still a statement puffed up for marketing purposes. Probably a fair bit cheaper to make as well.

Visited Bitchster village on Sunday to swap a pair of trainers the wife bought on holiday which had 2 different shoes in the box. 
While there itâd be rude not to have a look in the various watch boutiques so:
Swatch group shop. Tried on a Hamilton regulator and that triangular one. Neither blew me away. Wife was unimpressed with either.
Bremont: lovely people in there. Amazingly helpful, tried on a compressor style diver and the Martin Baker GMT -liked the MB wife liked the compressor but it was a bit small for me
Watchfinder: rammed, full of Rolex. The only thing I liked was a 22k AP diver which is not going to happen. The wife laughed at me.
Breitling: helpful lot but nothing for me in there (was kind of looking for an avenger gmt)
TAG: another very helpful lot, I like one of their vintage styled GMTs as did the wife but she has a blue dial prejudice. She did like some dinner plate GMT chrono skeleton thing sheâs such a great match for me
So in the end my wallet was safe.
Also fuck me Mulberry is expensive.

Yeah, this bugs me. They (not just Watchfinder) say âvintageâ but they mean âRolex and, like, two other watchesâ.
ÂŁ28k, which is objectively a silly amount of money but the flipside might be that this is the maximum watch you can get for that.
Steel, kind of obviously.

Be still, voice in my head, that just said âbut @edd9000 did a trade with these guys. Youâve got a (cheaper) VCâŚâ
No harm messaging and getting a quote 
I love the 222 but it looks like a childâs watch on my wrist. Why canât they do a huge obnoxious one
