: Baloney! The steel used by Omega and Rolex have
: the EXACT same hardness. See the link below
: for the specifics.
: The only difference in the steels used are that
: Rolex choses a mix that is slightly more
: long-term corrosion resistant, while Omega
: chooses one that is slightly more
: non-allergenic.
: What you may have experienced is that the
: brushed finish on the Seamaster bracelets
: makes minor scuffs a bit more obvious than
: the polished finish that is more commonly on
: watch bracelets. But that is merely a visual
: effect of the finish texture--not a
: difference in the materials.
: I also have owned and worn a Rolex for years
: and find it scratches and scars like
: anything else.
Well, there I go taking personal testimony for Gospel again, sorry Derek, but a family member testified that of his personal experience with both Rolex's and Seamasters, (his) Rolex scratched less easily...could it be a difference in the age of the Seamaster? Has Omega changed the steel used in Seamasters at some time in the past?
I dunno, didn't mean to mislead anyone, in any event at least we all agree that titanium scratches more readily!
Sorry for the misinfo.
