Doesn’t really have a lot of scratches, or maybe the jubilee just hides them that well

But you can see a lot of tiny hairline scratches on the high polished areas

12:00 side of my Explorer after 14 months of ownership. It has been well-loved.

Just these little guys on the top right lug after about 8 months of almost daily use. (Along with some nice even hairlines on the polished center links and clasp)

Side shot of the SD43. Pretty sure my AD did this when I brought the watch back to get it re-sized. Hurts to look at but have no issues waiting to get it touched up during service

From this angle you can see the chip in the insert, and the dented lug

Proud of ever last one of them, this watch is worn daily and is treated as such. It will be new again after a 10yr service. Otherwise it will continue to earn its marks.

Not to mention I lost the watch 2 months after getting it back--- Offshore fishing out of Va Beach- watch now resides in bottom of Atlantic Ocean. Search my posts and you can get details on this incident

No freaking way dude! I’ll def search that post and I’m super sorry to hear of something like that! I’m hoping you had insurance on it and it was covered at least close enough to replace it even if the wait is a century ;)
