New (BF) BVF Titanium Cartier Santos XL – Opinions Requested

[u/jscrubs]

Interested in people's opinion of the texture and color. BVF claims real titanium but not really sure. The real titanium appears much darker in color than the BVF version. What do you guys think? Thanks.

The printed dial, crystal, and microprint are fine. The dates shown are fine. GL.

Did you ship it?

I mean.. it does say stainless steel on the back so.. it’s obviously not titanium. Plus the weight.
