Irregardless of finish, in my experience, a watch can get dings, swirls and scratches no matter how careful I am. I also notice that for my more sensitive finishes, like brushed ti, these watches get scratched easier. Again, it's how one uses the watch and the accidental bumps that will determine the "damage". All it takes is a watch with a technically superior coating (like PVD or DLC) to get one big bump and that's it.

Strangely, on my very much cheaper Seikos in 316L, I hardly see scratches or maybe it's because I care less because of the much lower value(???).

Get the watch that you like best that also suits your liefstyle.
