Series 7 scratch resistance?

[FaceChart2]

Hi everyone,

I am just trying to clarify scratch resistance of the Series 7 watches. (Of the actual case material, not the glass)

I see on the Apple website watch comparison page that it looks like this year the black titanium is the ONLY series 7 variant that lists DLC coating for the case.

Does this mean that the black titanium has the best case scratch resistance of all other series 7 watches, including superior to the stainless steel black (which no longer lists DLC coating)? Or is the stainless steel black still more scratch resistant just by virtue of being stainless steel?

Appreciate any info/opinions people have.

This is the new comparison site FYI:

SS Graphite == Space Black?

photos are reduced in quality when posted here, so I think you really have to see it in person to see the difference ... S6 SS graphite did have DLC, I havn't checked the specs for the 7 but if they would have discontinued that, I wouldn't get it ...

There is a stainless steel space black this year, but it looks like (at least at the time) you can only get it w/ the Hermes band.
