Andreas:

Thanks very much for your thoughtful response. I've just started lurking on this board, and it seems like there are a lot of knowledgeable and high-quality people on this board.

: I am one of those who said to have problems with Titanium.
: Titanium is very complicated to manufacture, at least
: that's what you can read everywhere. Titanium will scratch.
: Minor scratches from the "working-desk" can be
: polished by the accompanied sponge. They will go away to
: 100%, since those "scratches" are very, very,
: very fine. It is just that way, that you might like to
: polish it once a month. On the other hand you have a brand
: new looking watch all the time. Deeper scratches suffer the
: same problems as with steel, although I swear I would have
: less with a steel one. You can find posts on Steel/Titanium
: surface rigidity on Timezone.

: I am weighing 125Kg, most comes from sports. So when I
: "bang" into something the watch will have to be
: strong. I bought the Titanium to have a more rare unit on
: my wrist than the regular steel Seamaster "many"
: carry. For me personally that was the wrong descision.

: My boss wears a Titanium Chrono and he has no complains,
: although he just weighs some Kilos less. I bet he swears on
: his chrono, if you would ask him.

: So for my personally the steel would have been the choice and
: I will try everything to trade back to steel. Once I get a
: link I post a picture of my 150th. Omega called me today
: and they are very kind. They refurbish the watch as good as
: possible concerning my "issues".

: Don't let my example stop you from trying on a Titanium one.
: The weight is very impressive and the looks are enchanting.

: Cheers, Andreas
