I was wondering how the titanium cases are holding up?  One reason I have never bought a Ti watch is that I hear they scratch easy.  I would imagine a polished surface could be cleaned up again but, if its blasted or brushed, I would think it would be hard to match the original finish.  What say you?

Ive had mine for almost two years now, hardly a scratch on her... supposedly a good ink eraser though will 'massage' out small scratches...

Scott I have several Ti watches and have owned them for a couple years without any undue marking up. :D

Same here, Scott. I have 2 or 3 Ti watches and they are more resistant to scratches and swirls. Of course, like all watches, if you use them as tool watches eventually they too will get dinged and scratched up. Note that Ti is just about 20% to 30% stronger than 316L stainless steel. ;)

I have been using my Citizen Ti diver extensively as a tool watch, and have not had any serious scratches showing.
