I think that looks like sh!t
to each his own tho and if you enjoy it, thats all that matters.

If you are going for a nice night out, do you wear it or something with a "bit less wear"?

What does the paint on your vehicles look like?

i think this is almost five years on my 116710. she’s going in for a service once this situation has sorted itself out. she’s served me well and been all round the world.

if you wear it then it will show wear, personally I like this better than seeing watches covered in stickers and or with a coating of elmer's glue over them

I love this kind of threads.

Please do more damage to it, and come back here bragging about how much "you wear" it.

My 4 SD4K los similar as I wear it almost daily. I’ll polish it when it gets service but for now it doesn’t bother me at all

The advantage of the maxicase, is you can beat it to death, and polishing it won’t erase the lugs like a 5digit.

All those scratches look pretty superficial. I’d bet money a cape cod takes care of 95% of the scratches.

As if anyone will notice.

Do you wear it for yourself or for the others?

One can also look at it as a Ferrari that's been well loved on the track rather than sat in the garage under a car cover in between waxings

Glad to see a tool watch being used and beat on instead of sitting in a drawer or a safe! I thought my Explorer was beat up until I saw your pics. Nothing that can't be fixed or partially fixed. Either way, there is plenty of character.
