@Noush Chris I think you’ll be very happy with this one
Not mine, but I tried it on at a show recently. I think you have a similar slim wrist size as me, and for what it’s worth, I think you’ll be very happy with the 36 size. I thought the 38 was a doable size for my wrist too but the 36 is just about perfect. The 40 wears pretty huge in my opinion.

Re: Twelve Ti bracelet: scratch magnet or no issue?
Thanks for those pics @ajax87 !
Yes, hand up with skinny wrist attached
Seems a bit odd to think the 38 might be a bit 'long' but that is the nature of the drape of the bracelet links on this one.
But it's clear you get a better sense of the bracelet flowing around the wrist with the 36 and for me that's the idea with this style of watch.
The colour is a bit of a jump for me but apparently I'm 'a bit different'

My Ti36 bracelet is still fine after a few weeks of wear, for what it's worth.

Light !
I presume it's quite easy to refinish these.
My logic being , If they Mark up easy, they're easier to
Refinish/smooth out.

Re: Twelve Ti bracelet: scratch magnet or no issue?
Light as in not deep scratches. I think refinishing would be quite tricky on this bracelet because of the polished edges to the links. The same scratches would be quite easy to brush out on a Bader style bracelet.

Re: Twelve Ti bracelet: scratch magnet or no issue?
I read a few months ago on Reddit someone commenting they felt CW cheapened out on the Twelve's Grade 2 Ti bracelet. Their case itself still looked great but the bracelet was scratched to heck after heavy use. The rubber strap was recommended to buy with instead. Could have just been his usage? I've only owned one Titanium watch (a cheap Citizen) and I always found it neat when it "healed" itself but I was gentle on it overall.

Didn’t he realise that CWs are not designed for heavy use. That is what Rolex and Omega are meant for

Titanium scratches are very easy to touch up yourself with a scotchbrite pad or fibreglass scratch pen
