Bezel scratched by brick

Former Member over 4 years ago

After hearing numerous reports of the DLC being scratched very easily I am quite happy with that tiny mark at about 1 o'clock after scrapping the watch on a brick wall!

Yes I have the DLC vented titanium strap on my 6X Sapphire and as well as the bezel showing no scratches after a few quite hard knocks, there are no visible marks on the deployment which I normally find always…

This is exactly why I use an adhesive metal bezel protector. It's been on solid for 4+ months straight even with long hot showers and lengthy swims.

Your bezel does look good but I like the original and if it holds up like it has I can deal with the odd small mark.

What i didn't want is a Fenix 5X state of affairs where the bezel ends up destroyed…

Infocal from IQ store. Uses up 10% per day.

That’s my problem with the normal titanium bracelet. The thing gets scratched if you looked at it sharply. I’ve taken to “wiping” it off with 12000 grit microfiber once a week.
