So, i have the Space Black SS 44. Coming into this, i thought that the DLC coating will prevent scratches. I have had a Series 0 regular stainless steel prior to this.
While it does prevent minor (hairline) scratches, it can be scratched with a simple bump of watch into a hard object (such as wall)...DLC coating maybe harder than regular SS but not as impervious as i had thought. The good news? Since it is black, i don’t see the scratches much at all. Only at certain angle of light.
My fear was that a scratch would show the underlying SS, but that is not the case...maybe the coating is fairly thick?
I have included other pics showing the normal viewpoint....basically cannot see the scratches.
