Omega easily scratched?

Duly noted.
Funny thing is, we hear this issue coming up all the time in the silly zone where ever one chooses to inhabit.
Some silly zones are sillier than others.
Take one of the Rolex forums for example.
People are complaining that the flat slabs of polished case sides are showing scratches because of the 904 L SS, whilst their Omegas with the 316 L SS don't get scratched so easily, blah, blah, blah.

The silliest part of it, is that it's totally subjective as to what shirt cuff is scratching the case sides which is compounded by the different case shapes and the wearing environment and how many hours a day the watch is worn in the scratchy environment and how careful/careless the owner is.
There's no standard test with clearly defined parameters so it's all just a load of BS👍

I say wear and enjoy what one has and be done with it, then get it serviced and polished as one sees fit😉
Then enjoy it some more😀

Then there's talk of hardened Titanium and hardened Stainless Steel and God only knows what else with Ceramic cases at the top of the tree and Bioceramics at the bottom👎

Wear and enjoy to full👍

Getting back to the OPs question: no, I do not find that my Omega (Speedmaster co-axial, not the 3861, but the 9300 from 2012 or thereabouts) scratches more easily than my other watches. I'm actually surprised that the polished surfaces are still pretty much scratch free. (I'm sure if I checked with a microscope or loupe they aren't, but why would I do that?)
And I consider myself not a careful person. I mean I try, but not successfully...

Speaking from experience, dont buy a new watch if you’re afraid of scuffs. They’re meant to be worn! I felt the same way with my first new expensive timepiece since i was only ever used to buying vintage and wearing it the way it was. Its a little less stressful to buy something used in this world i think as long as it was taken care of properly

As an example of what factors are at play here.
I have a GS which is my dress watch. We all know of the quality of their watches and how the Zaratsu polishing is legendary, and rightly so👍
Well that watch has hands that are as flat and as highly polished as one could ever imagine and at most viewing angles this will bare testament everyday of the week.
To the casual observer the whole watch(which is polished over every square mm) is absolutely magnificent and finished to perfection.
However, under some circumstances(usually when viewed through a loupe) i can observe some ultra fine scratches on the hour hand if I can get the light to reflect off it in just the right way. I always put it down to a smudge which has somehow occurred during assembly that I was going to ask them to have a look at when it went in for its first service in Japan.
The shock horror😲 The other day I saw the same markings(with just my looking glasses on) right along the whole surface of the hour hand AND the minute hand at the same time when the hands were orientated in a particular position and with the light reflecting off them just right whilst I was admiring the polish on the watch.

At that point i had a light bulb moment👍
It occurred to me that the markings I could see were a direct result of the polishing process.
The abrasives used to render the surface so perfectly polished and flat had left their mark and just by chance I happened to see them in all their glory all at once.
You get that with highly polished surfaces, especially if they are flat as a tack.
There's a significant risk that the imperfection of the perfection will be fully revealed(very Japanese i know👎).
I don't think anything less of the watch or the manufacturer or the person who assembled the watch.
Instead I have gained a whole new appreciation around the pursuit of perfection😉

There are a few very good lessons to be learned from this😀
One lesson is that scratches or marring can be seen in every polished metal surface if one gets the right light reflecting off them just the right way.

Omega has an advantage with their beautiful twisted lug case design with brushed case sides in that scratches are more easily obscured.
Enjoy them for what they are and have them polished when they go back in for servicing if you wish, but don't expect them to ever remain pristine if one is using them for their intended purpose.

Hey jalquiza welcome to the forum, I feel your pain, that why I never buy new stuff.
Dont buy a new car, every bird in a 50 km radius is gonna congregate to shit on it, every shopping trolly will want to dent it, tousands of kids will eat hamburgers and ice in the back and suddenly every other car is driven by " Mr Magoo". Buy an old Volvo, a G-shock and have a happy, care free life.

Now you're just showing off🙁

Beauty!!! 👍 👍 👍

Clasp is too easily scratched. Had to switch mine out on my Seamaster.

Omg tell me about it! 🙁

Do you have more information or a link. Its hard make sense of this.

I don't think Omegas scratch easily, most of my omegas do not show any signs of scratching, I mean they are there but you have to look for them. In fact I believe Omega's watches are designed dot reduce the visibility of scratches.

not the same when its comes to ultra polished Rolexes which if when scratched flagrantly shows and even my Grand Seiko started visibly showing minor dents on the zaratsu polished bezel.

So IMO no, Omegas dont generally scratch more than other brand watches.

I took a scotch brite pad to to the bracelet and I'm happy how it turned out.
