How does the bezel hold up on the heritage models over time? Has anyone experienced fading..etc? |

My wife has a 38mm SOH as a beater watch and has had no issues with colour fade. The bezel has become pretty scratched, but it still retains it's colour (i.e. the scratches don't show 'bare' metal). |

Thank you! Scratches are pretty much unevoidable.. Do you think this material scratches easier then a regular steel bezel? |

Can't really speak directly as it's my wife's watch, but it does appear to have a few more scratches than the rest of the watch, but of course it is also more exposed. |

Does she wear a bracelet next to it as well? My mom and sister do that and it makes me cringe... |

Was told it's anodized aluminum. Over time it will fade, but I suspect by then other things would have happened to it sufficient to warrant a replacement at the appropriate service interval. |

I have the 125th anniversary model with the white face and the black bezel. I wear it almost daily and it hasn't faded or even scratched. In fact Im looking at adding another one down the road as I like it that much. |

Although I am careful with my watches, mine still looks like new. |
