Use everyday means more scratch
If you are ready, then use it for daily beater. |

I say go for it. Its just a watch and can always be polished when service time comes around. Worst case I believe a new SS bezel is around $600 to replace.
That being said...I recently went from a SS diver to a FC diver for daily wear because of the extra scratch resistance and more unique look. |

Dunno? What do you do? Dig ditches? That'll prob age your watch faster then if you sit at a desk all day... It's a wristwatch, meant to be worn on your wrist everyday of your life, if ya wish. Just wear it and forget it.

Good to know the Panda bezel is more expensive than the diver SS bezel. I found the email from Clearwater and was quoted $670 for the replacement bezel for my diver.

What's the point of having it if you are afraid to wear it!!
I think of scratches as battle scars!! |

I wore SS ROO everyday for 3 years. No dramas.
Scratches are inevitable. My suggestion is wear it or buy a Gshock! |

Wear it daily, don't think about scratches much but don't wear it in extreme conditions, that's just asking for trouble. Otherwise get a forged carbon model (with ceramic bezel), this beast will stay looking new throughout any period of daily use.

Wear it like you stole it
As others already mentioned bezel can be replaced when needed
