I've been wearing mine for almost two weeks (sorry for those that are still waiting:P)  and since it's my first bead blasted watch, i was also  wondering how resistant it would be to scratches.  So far, it's way better than any polished SS for sure (no surprise) and not worse than brushed finish imo.  I have small lines on the bracelet, which is normal, but you really have to look close to see them and besides that, i really, really like that finish.  I've seen blasted finish on some watches that were very grainy and looked like if it was concrete not metal.  The finish on the BENARUS is very well done and uniform as far as i can tell.  As to how to fix scratches on it, i have not done any research on it yet so i have no idea if you can do it as easily as a brushed one but i doubt it .  Worse case, you  can send it out to have it refinish.  That's what i do with my polished watches every two to three years depending on how often i wear them.


If you haven't ordered yet, you should not hesitate and buy with confidence.  The whole watch is amazing.  You will not find anything like it in that price range imho and if you do, please let me know! ;)

Hope it help!
