Why would your wife do that? Get rid of her.

Replace the crystal, replace your wife and, while you're at it, replace the blade on your razor. That stubble is unacceptable.

A lot of dudes do... Sometimes the hairs get so long they may get entangled into the bracelet.

This had me chuckling. Nice way to start the morning. To OP i would probably swap the crystal as that would bother me. I like wearing my 16753 with acrylic crystal for this very reason.. easy to buff out scratches.

Wife diamond hit my sapphire on my watch.

Same thing happened to my OP a few years ago. NYC RSC put a new one on for about $315

This has happened to me several times but it has never actually scratched yet. I wear my watch on the right hand so when I'm standing on her left it's always a worry of mine, lol.

I know we all want our watches to be perfect, but that mark also tells a story. Every time you look down at it you might quietly snicker to yourself. Dunno if I'd rush out to drop a decent amount of coin on a new crystal...I'd probably just laugh every time I see it and then when it needs a full service get it replaced.

Not that visible tbh, will be used to it in no time. Might as well get it fixed when doing the servicing if I was you.

Normal, my wife has scratched the crystal of two of my watches with her diamond DJ36.

Wife’s diamond bezel left 2 perfectly spaced dots. Amazing how that happens.

I assumed I was paranoid that this could happen. Appears the threat is real.

Haha, same thing happened to my Speedmaster, luckily only a hairline, barely visible. My left wrist made contact with the ring on her right hand at just the right moment to allow that to happen =(

Pro cyclists and pro swimmers. Other than that, no reason to do it.

I feel your pain. I went to the opera two months back with a girl I was dating at the time, and she squeezed my arm/hand during the performance. Her ring band ended up putting a ding in my Panerai bezel.

Simple solution, sell diamond, buy new watch with proceeds.
