Thoughts:
The 351 is gorgeous. I love Ti watches. But I also find that I like the black dial better for two reasons, the contrast and the ability to mix/match with more straps. But the Ti/brown/gold combo is a classic.

I do love all the 320/312/351 designs, but the 1950 case + the dome crystal on models like the 233 is really special. Before I had one, I wasn't sure I'd like the dome. Once I got the 233, I was mesmerized by the dome crystal. I loved it so much that I sold my 233 so I could get a bigger 1950 case and dome with a less busy dial:

And last, when it comes to SS vs. Ti for scratches, I think that's a wash. I seem to have just as many marks and scratches on my SS watches as my Ti watches. And when I get a scratch on my Ti watch, a scotchbrite pad takes it out with barely any effort. But a scratch on my SS watch takes TONS of cape cod polishing to get out. And brushed SS has to go to my AD for scratch removal. Brushed Ti scratches come out in a flash with that scotchbrite pad.

So I would go with which ever model sings to you the loudest. That's the only way you'll be happy. Which one can you not stop thinking about at night? :)
