any scratches? LOL

A watch that has been worn, as it should be!

haven_seeker · 30 March 2020, 01:46 AM

This, exactly. Scratches, dents, and scuffs are all OK.

Just keep it clean brother!!!

(dish soap and a toothbrush, or a shower once a week works for me!)

I've had a Submariner for 3 years and wear it everyday and it doesn't look like that.

robmack · 30 March 2020, 01:42 AM

Normal wear and tear for a service watch. Not a safe queen.

Very cool ! Put it to work. Now how are you ever going to become wealthy off the profit from reselling the Batman haha

LndLord · 30 March 2020, 02:03 AM

actually not bad for 3 years of use!

travisb · 30 March 2020, 02:05 AM

That's a lotta love!

As a photographer I think it happens while building the setups / travelling / in the process of the shoots / I dont really care about "Oh god my watch" - other Story with my 16710 - I try to take care of it - it feels very denty...

minute_man · 30 March 2020, 02:05 AM

Mint!

A good perspective for those who overthink about scratches.

FWIW if OP ever sold this to a store, the next buyer would see ZERO of these.
And at the current (at least pre-covid-19) state of the market, scratches would have little impact on the selling price, if any.

exactly my thoughts!

101031-28 · 30 March 2020, 02:07 AM

Those scratches would drive me nuts!

Cool watch · 30 March 2020, 02:14 AM

Yikes!!

Good lord dude, did you wake up and put that watch in blender every morning?!?

LoL. JK. Glad you have the serenity to not give AF about it.

I'm always jealous of my past self.
I owned only one watch at a time.
The one that stayed on my wrist for the longest period was an Oakley GMT and it def. shows wear! It was polished gunmetal and wasn't babied at all.
After I chipped the sapphire crystal on it back in 2014, I was in search of a replacement watch and I fell down this ludicrous and obscenely addictive rabbit hole we call a hobby.

LOL thanks for that.

csaltphoto · 30 March 2020, 02:19 AM

And the thing is to most casual observers from more than a foot away the watch would look fine.

CKizzy · 30 March 2020, 02:22 AM

I have other watches for the 'dirty' work, but I like your style ;)

MickCollins1916 · 30 March 2020, 02:25 AM

That BLNR looks beautiful! Watches are meant to be worn. Life is too short for me to worry about scratches and such.

The clasp on my SD4K I’m enjoying today clearly belies this philosophy.

Eric-London · 30 March 2020, 02:26 AM

I've just fainted lol

Sarosh · 30 March 2020, 02:28 AM

Think that’s how a watch should look after a few years. Glad to see it worn and not cosseted

dnpina · 30 March 2020, 02:29 AM

Nice watch

Well done OP. We all look at the world (and our watches) in different ways. Myself, I wouldn't want to look at my $9K watch on my wrist like that. I wear all of mine and they all have wear but I break out an old Seiko divers when wrenching on bikes, cars, running chainsaws.

C_Troy242 · 30 March 2020, 02:34 AM

Still a mystery to me how one can get such an amount and extent of scratches and dings, unless you actually want them. Unless you're a handyman I suppose and refuse to put ur watch away.

Good for you, I'd like to arrive somewhere in the middle at some point.
