When I chose between the CTS (Alu versus Titanium)…
…my conclusion was that for me the titanium was more wearable day to day. This was purely based on aesthetics. I was deciding between two watches on the bracelet and so the look is a lot stronger when you add the bracelet.
The Aluminum was to me no doubt more collectible, even if not actually rarer in terms of production numbers (for the CTS at least), but I was looking for a watch to wear and not to collect.
The price was pretty much the same at that time and so it was not a cost factor.
I’d go along with Christian on this, it would be nice to have both the CTS and this one. If that’s doable.
All aluminum ARS-any owners? Could use some insight.
Good evening my fellow enthusiast, I’m considering adding the all aluminum ARS to the collection. I’m curious if anyone has this piece in their collection or if you have ever owned it. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts. If you sold it I’m curious wh...

And then the new / current versions, which are titanium too should be heavier again I think. I’ve not put them on a scale. Re the weight, I think once you get used to it the weight actually becomes one of the key attractions of this watch. Don’t get me wr...
Thanks guys
Feel like for the price these are super underrated and will be very collectible in the future. They rarely come up for sale. Most collectors who have them won’t sell them.
if I remember correct, you have the Au Centigraphe?
In that case you are obliged to finish the Au set. It would be a cool idea.
Hey Christian
That’s correct. My CTS is aluminum but has rubber band. This will complete the set and this way I’ll have one piece with a full aluminum bracelet.
I have an Bvlgari Finissimo titanium watch..
…and there is definitely a toy element about it. But over time you can train your brain to appreciate the fine feeling that a luxury aluminum sports watch gives you😊 ...
