The GW-2500BD, combines Multi-band 6 radio controlled timing for USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Japan and China, with an analogue / digital display and a matt black/ gunmetal bracelet. Although this is not Titanium, it is still fairly light and gives an overall weight of  approximately 135 grammes.

Aviator bracelet conversion request.

We were asked by a couple of  G Shock enthusiasts if the Aviator ‘BD’ bracelet could be fitted to the GW-2000 or the GW-2000B, standard resin strap versions in the series.  The black matt insert piece, pictured below with the screws & collar spacers, allow you to fit the GW-2000BD braceletBracelet insert

The guide shows how to clip the insert into place (Figs 2&3).  Once fitted, the bracelet can be attached using the screws & rods provided, making sure to fit a collar spacer (Fig 5) on either side.
