The bracelet is fantastic: adjustable (+ dive extension) and comfortable.

I don't understand the call outs around scratching with the Pelagos. The part that shows the most scratches (on the LHD) is the clasp, which is steel, not titanium. The rest of the watch and bracelet is titanium and shows considerably fewer scratches than any of my steel (or gold) watches. And the LHD gets worn "harder". I wonder if this claim around scratches is sometimes (not always) from people that haven't actually owned the watch, but are making some assumptions about titanium or the grade.

Regardless, the Pelagos line offers a nice variety of cool options, and is a truly great diver. Solid on its own, or as a complement to the Sub/Sea-Dwellers.
