If such concerns are your primary focus, then you be better off looking at something ceramic.

I could care less about scratches.
I just want to know if there's anything unique with Ti.
Put it this way, I wouldn't want to be buying a bronze watch assuming it will age over time like SS. That's a surprise waiting to happen, and not a good one at that if you are not expecting the bronze patina.
I am seriously thinking about that Snowflake. But I wanna see what Basel has in store first. Got a few other watches on the radar.
