I bought an Aerospace a little over a week ago and wear it everyday. I noticed on the clasp some scuff marks and since I'm pretty careful with it am not sure if there normal. It seems to get them pretty easily. The watch itself still looks great just the titanium professional bracelet a little scuffed. The picture shows a lot of detail and doesn't look as bad in person, but definitely noticeable.

That could easily be "polished" out. Either you get a titanium restore pad or just use a scotch-brite.

Good luck!

As Ike said, titanium watches are much more prone to scratches than steel. Fortunately it's a brushed finish, so it's easy to brush out yourself if it bothers you.
