I'm looking at getting  a translucent wenger. Are the scales scratch resistant? Which ones are more resistant Vic or Wengers?

Very same same.  Brasso works on both for getting scratches out though.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

The red semi translucent "digital" scales seem quite scratch resistent.  I'm not sure they are Cellidor, I have a feeling they are a Nylon or other composite derivative.  Maybe it is just their textured surface I'm not sure.  The standard transparent Ruby/Saphirre/etc. seem to be worse than the standard Cellidor which does not look too back with some scratches.

I don't think they are any more likely to scratch but it certainly shows up more. :-\  As Neil said, a bit of Brasso works wonders. :tu:
