After nearly 2 years of regular rotation of my silver 7900 I find the glossy Maltese cross bezel to be mostly ok, but the large brushed base plate has a couple of minor scratches, as do some of the brushed bracelet elements.
Nothing very visible and clearly not anyway near to a Santos bezel IMHO. It, is clearly not a pure tool watch as the Explorer but for holy trinity standards it is pretty much as GADA as it gets. Plus you get true 150m water resistance unlike the new weird 30m rating Patek just introduced.
