I am still loving my Omega AT 8500 as my primary watch, but I sure am watching this polished bezel scratch easily. I have heard grumbling about other polished bezels but never experienced it before.

Which is your biggest scratch magnet?

Dust seems to scratch a polished Panerai bezel.

The polished Panerai bezel is the one I have heard the most about and had it in mind when posting. It seems bezels with numerals don't show as many scratches but the dressier wide bezels will magnify any scratch or smudge

I've been wearing the Navi 01 for a week straight and no bezel scratches. ;)

The Panerai 005 I had was the worst for scratches, both case and bezel, and the biggest reason I let it go.

I don't know how you guys manage to get so many scratches on your watches! :lol:

I've had a Panerai for a while now and there's still not a single scratch on the polished bezel. I admit I am fairly careful with all my watches, but I have no "safe-queens" and I wear all my watches in regular rotation. Maybe it has something to do with the generally sub-zero climate here that means for 10 months of the year, my watches are safely hidden away under my long sleeves! :wink:
