·What are the people's thoughts on the grey with titanium bezel and no date? Is that bezel scratch resistant? What does that watch look like in real life?
That grey model with the titanium bezel is also going to be just as scratch-resistant as any other model, buy what you like and don't worry about scratching it.

··Seamasters ForeverDon't worry about the scratch resistance on the aluminum models, they're all fine. Take a look at people's posts with the NTTD, you don't see scratches on the bezel, and if you do, it's on the outer titanium part of the bezel.

Yeah, it's worth noting that an anodization process should create some oxides of the metal that is being anodized, and aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) sharing the chemical formula with sapphire (but not a structure). I think that the anodized aluminum Omega uses is tougher than case hardened steel, but I'm not actually certain.
Perhaps @Dan S knows more. It's not a process I'm super familiar with

·I enjoy the mesh (also have the rubber). My wrist is 7" and I opted for the small mesh bracelet to minimize the overlap under the clasp.
The regular sized mesh would have resulted in overlap that was too bulky...YMMV
