DarrenH Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Can anyone help on this one?! Does titanium (i.e. for a case and bracelet) have more resistance to light scratches than stainless steel with a brushed finish. ta............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azgjav Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 if u compare brushed ti with brushed ss..from my experience the brushed ti resists scuffs normal better than brushed ss, the titanium oxide coat protects it and any scuffs will be rendered invisible by the quick oxidation of ti. experts pls correct me if i'm wrong... p/s-the finish on my ti iwc gst chrono is indestructable...i can barely scratch it w my jeweler screwdriver..it's not brushed, more like sandblasted..

the collector Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 The nice thing with titanium is that it has a temperature of 37C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenH Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Sounds good to me. I bought an Ultimate Sub LV from PT last week, and it is fantastic. However, I have my eye on his Breitling Chrono Avenger (black dial) - in fact I reckon I'm going to order it in a day or two. When I get it look out for the photos!!!

Usil Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 37 degreec C??? It will find an equilibrium temperature to what ever the ambient temperature is. Usil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostfaceZX Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Titanium is stronger/harder than stainless steel, so yes, it is more resistant to scratching than SS. I used to be into titanium watches, but now I prefer the extra mass of a nice SS watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ti is too light for me as well, I love the heft of a big chunk of steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
