Looks like one of the older ones, I’ve got the Soprod movement. Can’t fault it. My bracelet shows some signs of wear, but nothing that worries me. The price doesn’t seem that good for not mint condition.

Thanks to you and @ChainBreaker for the photos. I knew that the Ti would mark more easily so that's confirmed how easily it will mark. How are both of your cases? I've heard that marks around the lugs where the spring bars fit can get marked pretty easily.
Of course you're correct @freddo it's more of question of whether I'd rather pay the extra to put those marks in myself. As bizarre as it sounds. I don't mind the idea of buying vintage watches with "patina" but it doesn't seem quite as desirable on something that hasn't had much wear and is only a couple of years old.

Apologies if this is getting boring for you lot but I'm starting to bore myself so I know it's bad.
The Ti Steinhart I found locally has got me stewing. The guy will take $650 for it. He described it as being mint and said it hadn't had a lot of wear. He sent photos through and it has quite a few scratches on the buckle. Am I being too picky or is this what most would expect for a watch that has been worn. Also, if this bugs me at this stage, am I going to be constantly pissed off with the way that titanium marks relatively easily when compared to steel?
