Who should buy which.
The T018 Titanium PT5000 Dive Watch (Black Bezel): A buyer who wants a light, rugged, dark diver for the water and everyday wear. Choose a smaller diver if you have a small wrist, or an uncoated titanium or steel model if you do not want a coating that can wear.
The SHY036 39mm Titanium PT5000 Diver (Blue): Someone who wants an affordable titanium automatic diver with a ceramic bezel in a classic size. Choose a model with a published lug-to-lug span if fit is critical, or a certified dive watch if certification is a purchase requirement.
