    So according to https://www.madearia.com/blog/how-to-distinguish-titanium-from-stainless-steel-and-aluminum/

    • Titanium won’t scratch glass, but it will leave a streak
    • Stainless steel will scratch, but will not leave a dark mark
    • Aluminum leave no trace
    It did scratch glass so probably not but the more conclusive test is to put it on some sort of grinder for sparks....
    • Titanium: will give a lot of bright white sparks
    • Stainless: less yellow or red sparks, or no sparks at all
    It does a have a Ronda movement and I'm leaning towards it not being titanium even though the weight seems about right it has NO attraction to a magnet.... Sapphire crystal? No idea.

    Soo I did the water drop test to see if it is sapphire and it does pass that test... No I don't have on of those cool sapphire tester like you see on the watch reviews so this is what I had... A thread on watchuseek does say it is accurate

    Put this "titanium" watch on the grinder and also a known titanium (Berny watch) and a 318l stainless watch.... I'm surprised but the mysterious code watch reacted like the titanium Berny.... so I'm saying it is, plus a sapphire lens and Ronda quartz for under 30 is pretty good...of course there's that ridiculous name... Ok thanks for indulging my science nerd tangent.


    Fwiw both titanium watches did actually scratch glass so I'm not sure how accurate that test is....

    Enough for now
    the J-20 is a Chinese jet and you got it from aliexpress. Nothing about that watch and the description is legit I’m sure of it

    If you go on YouTube and look up time pice gentleman there's a whack of videos on it. There's one from a few days ago where he admits everything. Probably go to jail over it. Suvks for the people he owes the money to but kinda a neat crime story
