Bezel scratching and bezel replacement (more)

In Response To: SMP's bezel queston ()

: Is the SMP's(2561.80) bezel scratch resistant?

As compared to what?

Omega makes all their watches fairly scratch resistant. I've had a 2531.80 for over two and a half years and have not visible scratches on the blue aluminum bezel. Other people have managed to scratch their bezels--but mainly to a pretty small degree.

Just about any steel watch is possible to scatch. Particularly if scraped against rough concrete or granite.

But the face of the bezel is actually a simple steel or aluminum insert that can be replaced for about $80 (parts+labor)--so you should not worry too much about the consequences if you do manage to scratch yours.
