The press lands at \u003cstrong\u003eslightly different angles\u003c\/strong\u003e each time, concentrating wear unevenly across the \u003cstrong\u003ebutton face\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003echrome surround\u003c\/strong\u003e collects \u003cstrong\u003emicro-scratches from rings and watch bands\u003c\/strong\u003e.
