A question about 18ct yellow gold durability

I have been looking at the two-tone SMP in many Watch stores recently (Bailey Banks and Biddle-ugh are they rude). Each two-tone (SS & 18ct.)one of them have seemed to have tiny scratches in the gold bezel. I have asked in each case if the watches were returns and the store managers swear them to be completely unworn. These scratches may be exaggerated by the bright Halogen lighting, however I am now reconsidering the purchase of a two-tone SMP. I wear a two-tone wedding ring and have thought that a two-tone watch would look the best. I am now considering the America's Cup version of the SMP which is in my opinion quite unique looking. The AC bezel is white gold so logic tells me that it too may be easily subject to scratches. Any thoughts on these issues would be appreciated as I ponder my Christmas present. =).
