Well, it only took about a week but I finally got it out of the way. I was going through a door tonight and banged my watch on the metal part of the door jam.

It felt like my heart stopped. I knew it was going to happen eventually, I was hoping it would have taken a little longer though.
It left a little scratch on the bracelet on the inside of my wrist. Tiny as it is, when I see it (and every time I look at my watch I SEE IT

) it looks like the Grand Canyon.

CJ,

you are now a true Rolex owner.

I like to call all those little imperfections.... character. It is what makes your watch, only yours.

Enjoy every bit of character your watch gets.

You still didnt beat me. 4 days with my Explorer and I smacked it against a door as well. Left a mark on the once shiney bezel. Oh well, life goes on and your watch can take it.

Dont worry about it watches are meant to be worn,and will get a few dings.But they can be polished out on next service,its just a fact of normal life.

mailman · 27 January 2006, 08:38 PM

As soon as you get the next one, you'll get over it.

27 January 2006, 11:25 PM

Well, the first one always hurts the most... but now you can stop worrying about banging it and know it's a tough MoFo.

CJ,

I can image how you feel. I don't have mine yet, but dreading my first "charater mark".

My main hobby, and I can assure you more expenensive that Rolex collecting, is high end gun collecting. I cringe at the charater marks I put on these things. Others I target shoot with don't care about dings and dents, but I like my collection to stay in pristene condition and I work real hard to keep them that way.

Congratulations, CJ. Your watch has lost its virginity. Now you can go about your daily business without worrying about when you will ding it. You already have. But as the guys have said, you are now building character into the GMT. Wear that character proudly and enjoy it.

It's like a new car, The first ding hurts the most.

Took me all of 4 days to get a ding in our new car. Bloody SHopping Malls & Christmas.

It does make it difficult to tell what time it is though.
