Titanium watches good idea to buy?

Guys, I've been drooling over the Bell & Ross BR 01 Pro Titanium.

I have never owned a titanium watch before and was curious how it will hold up compared to stainless steel watches in terms of wear and tear. Does it scratch or dent easily. B&R says it is a grade 2 titanium finish. All opinions appreciated thanks!

Beautiful watch. I've found that titanium is really strong by it scratches pretty easily, imo.

I don't quite understand how it is advertised as stronger than steel yet it scratches really easily. Stronger in what regards? What gives??

Thanks for the reply!

From what I understand, it has more strength by weight compared to steel. Then again, that all comes down to the types of Ti or steel that are used. I'm not exactly sure why it scratches more easily either.

I have a Ti Swiss Army as a daily beater that has held up very well compared to other SS watches I've owned. I would recommend Ti.
