Both are durable

 

But would say you would have a little less work, and you could do it yourself, maintaining a SS watch with a cap cod cloth.  There are various techniques to keep your titanium in tip top shape but it is a little harder.

But at the end of the day the watch will build character and after the first scratch you will no longer worry about it and may even have a story to tell.  Do get me me wrong and start bashing it around.  Just wear and exercise basic care.

Good luke.

Hi, I have been waiting to puchase a 279 (Marina Auto, Tobac. Titan. Brace.) for some months after placing one on order. During this wait, the chance of puchasing a 233 has arisen (obviously more than a third again more expensive than the 279). I have tri...

Both the 279 and 233 are great watches. The 233 is at the top of my "want" list. I love the tobacco dial on my 279, it really complements the brushed Ti case and bracelet. As for the 233, I am attracted to the domed crystal and the sandwiched dial. The 19...

they are durable. Unlike the titanium material, the polished SS is easier to be scratched and it will be nice if you can wear it very carefully. As Bill said, if you get your first scratch...then it will set you free.. I know everyone love their own watch...

GLHQ Many thanks
