I am very much looking forward to some customer reviews. I am also quite curious about the scratch resistance.

There is no scratch resistance.
Titanium is prone to scratching much easier than steel and even gen of this watch does not have any coating to prevent scratching.
But shouldn't grade 5 have good scratch resistance? mine should be an EWE and it's very very delicate.

When they say "good scratch resistance" they refer to in comparison to lower grade titanium. Grade 5 Titanium is still Titanium and it is still softer than steel and will scratch.
Ok, this is very clear. With steel, even if it gets scratched, you can polish it and it will be as good as new.
But with grade 5 titanium, once it gets scratched, can you polish it?
Also this model has a special treatment on titaniu, surface, I think polishing is practically impossible.

? With coating yes it is hard to near impossible to refinish but regular titanium can be repolished...
But i restate, where is info that this YM has coating??? Gen doesn't have coating....
we just have to wait and see what the users who receive it say. As soon as I sell mine i will start by getting a yacht master with a blue dial.
Casio does it on most newer titanium G-Shocks (mostly on the expensive MR-G line, but there are also few sub-2k titanium watches).
Yesterday I was told that it's going to be another week until watches are available, so I postponed my order. Information flow is not consistent across your communication channels

I think it's a vr3235, but we're waiting for an answer from the more experienced ones.
Would be good to have a comparison between clean and tw+ because both offer the yachtmaster titanium and both use the same vr3235 movement. So it would be interesting to see which watch has the better material finishing

Look past the finishing, TW+ has the wrong hands, the inside of the caseback is wrong marking wise, and looks worse than Clean, Clean's crown is more slightly refined in terms of sharpness / shape of the crown, for once Clean's cyclop is better than TW+.
Also something I noticed, why does TW+ has markings for 40mm YM?
But maybe colorwise from these photos TW+ looks better, more "steel colored" Titanium, which in comparison to CTime's gen pictures is "better". Hard to say without all 3 side by side.
Overall - Clean wins in my opinion.

As I stated many times, there are variants of 3235 with and without engraving on the rotor. I don't know what the "signifier" or "difference" is or if it means anything, but Clean is not wrong.TW+ has the the complete writings on the rotor
