Hi there was just wondering how the do the finish for the bezel? And how resistant it is to scratches damage?

Also if you were to get a nasty scratch how would that be removed? By BUK refinishing it or replacing the whole bezel?

Just a thought :mrgreen:

Its an aluminium sheet recessed into the steel bezel. The steel edge gives it some side impact protection but it is only printed aluminium probably with a fairly tough 2-pack lacquer coat. The watch is built like a tank but the finish will show wear and tear more easily than some other models.

Never knew how companies did this. I used to have an ORIS that had the same type of bezel.

My wife has an SOH38 as a beater and there is nothing that scratches the colour. She has some deep marks in it but hte colour is still perfect.

Definitely good to know considering I'm most likely going to purchase a SOH once I graduate from getting my Master's degree!! I'm going to get the blue!!
