I guess every owner does enjoy his SM.

Well, honestly, the Titanium one I have is very easy to maintain. So I clean out the scratches every month once, I also stopped to do each scratch immmediately. At some point you understand this natural problem of jewelery, especially brushed or shiny surfaces.

My girlfriend is also very "aware" of scratches on her new SM steel. I guess it will take some weeks then she is over it and can enjoy her watch too ;-).

Cheers,
Andreas
