I've had lots of the bettarini cases in Ti & SS . . but it's the Ti I prefer. I love the properties of the metal. Yes, it will scratch quite easily, but they can heal themselves over time (through surface oxidization) or very easily you can give the watch a complete brushed make over with a couple of cheap products.

I've owned a 176 twice, 177, 240 (tobacco dial) . . all long gone now but I've considered picking one up again recently ..
