New vs old. 8 months of use.

The worst scratches are on the clasp as a result of a fall. Solid construction though.

My pelagos is also on a similar scratch-damage. Only about 4 months old:o

But I must say the bezel and glass is top notch in scratch resistance. Nothing so far. Touchwood.

ceramic and sapphire are way higher on the mohs scale compared to titanium

well, its a tool watch anyways. battle scars are ok. just send in for overhaul after a few years.

watches are meant to be worn and scratched. Even my expensive watch get beat up. Should really stick to the timex though for real abuse

My understanding of the Pelagos is that it has Ti bracelet but SS clasp. (IIRC got engraving of Ti and SS inside the clasp) tio bo?

So the SS and Ti parts absorb scratches at the same intensity? interesting..

if not wrong the pin is actually 2 pieces. One of it is permantly struck on the clasp, the other side can be unscrew using a small screwdriver.

Honestly I have no idea. :s13: but the clasps does take quite a beating. Some fine scratches on the bracelet too.

I'm the epitome of a Pelagos - plain, stark, beaten but ticking.:D

Disclaimer: it's my only proper watch.
