I've worn mine without a mind for abuse over the
link past month or so, and the bezel has yet to show any wear. That said, it's stainless steel, and even
link with a surface hardening
link like Dia-Shield, it's going to scratch. For my tastes, while I will hate the first few scratches, once the bezel is well-scratched, I think it will look amazing, and I hope the black coloring will aid in ample contrast after a few years of use.
