...my previous watch was a Seiko kinetic Ti. What a watch! You might ask why I changed. My wife bought me my SMP for my 40th B-day. I gave the Seiko to my friend and I stare at it every time I see him. Beautiful watch! Now back to us...
I honostly have never seen a SS watch scratch as much as my SMP! I don't know if it's the finish or a soft SS. Ti is a harder metal than SS and should not scratch as much. I don't know Omega's processing procedures and alloys they might use but the Seiko barely scratched, and what scrathes there were, were fine ones that kind of made a nice finish.
There is a guy named Andreas that shows using a special sponge [microlon] to work out the scratches. I have to do the same with my SS. I use 1000 grain sandpaper and only do it once in a while so not to wear down the finish.
Good luck on whatever you choose,
Ron
