Hi TopGun, I personally took a blasted SD with black dial, It was my first bead blasted watch and I wanted one for longtime, no regrets so far. Actually i like it so much that I ordered the Megalodon in blasted finish as well. It's IMHO the best finish for diver's watch since it doesn't create reflections underwater that could attract hungry big fish :P and it has a very smooth look. If you do not have one yet, i would go for it. I find it not bad on scratches either. My bracelet as some shiny lines but nothing major and the watch itself is still in perfect condition. If you are hard on your watches, the brushed finish might be a better option for you because easier to fix if scratched. To my knowledge, to fix a bead blasted finish, you have to re do the whole watch. I took the Moray in brushed finish for a more vintage and dressy look but it's a different animal. The SD and Mega are real tool watch and therefore, blasted is the best finish IMO.
Hope it help!
