What causes this kind of pitting on case?

Yeah, although my BLRO can drive a nail into wood if I can't find a hammer. Sometimes you just have to improvise.

Never. On the wrist, just the watch only. If you prefer wearing something else, you do have two arms.

Exactly! When people aren’t careful with their watches, they can look l8ke that, after awhile.

While market fluctuations can sometimes remedy slow sales, consistent price drops like this might signal the need for the seller to be more transparent or address potential issues with the watch. If the piece is solid, it could just be a matter of finding the right buyer, but the ongoing price reductions are definitely interesting.

It is very obvious why someone does not want to pay $12,000+ for this watch.

Why?
Because the owner was left-handed?
