: One other thing, which I'm not sure is peculiar
: to the titanium model, or just models which
: have bare metal (SS, Gold, or Ti)rotating
: bezels on them, but all the markings on the
: bezel are SUNKEN into the titanium itself. I
: suspect they did that by EDM'ing the
: numbers, lines, and tics into the metal and
: then applying the enamel at the bottom of
: the cavities. The end result, however, is
: that the markings on the bezel cannot be
: scratched off or even dinged up by
: accidental contact with boat winches,
: underwater coral reefs, or arctic wolf
: teeth.
I do like that feature. The standard Bond and 2254.50 black SMP's have painted aluminum bezel inserts that scratch very easily. The fact that your bezel markings are actually etched into the bezel makes the watch all the more durable.
