I really like the light weight of Titanio Pam 177 but I've read some negatives things about the Ti needing to be frequently buffed,
or its starts to turn a brackish very dull almost black look.
I would appreciate any feedback !

The Ti case seems to collect marks but in my practical experience no more so than the polished case of the 111 would. Better with the Ti case is the ability to brush out most marks your self with a Garyflex block or similar. Polishing with a Cape Cod on the 111 for instance? Well i've never found the CC to be that good and it's pretty messy.

I'd go for Ti over steel every time :)

Brushed cases are always easier to maintain, but Ti definately has a darker look to it that tends to be less dressy. I personally find that Ti doesn't quite work as well with Dress clothes, but I'm sure many will disagree. I do wear my Ti watches with dress clothes regularly since its not enough to stop me! Ti can get darker over time, but re-brushing it will fix that.

Thanks that pretty much answers my question.

I had the same decision to make this week and went with the 177, as the TI is a little more casual in my mind. Also, the fact that it will be worn everyday, I was told that it will be easier to buff out scratches. Good luck in your decision, either way you will have a great watch.
