I don't think anyone purposefully wants scratches on a watch. The point is the watch should be used, and scratches are an unavoidable sign of use.

It's like this axe. It is beautiful and costs $350, but I'd never buy it without the intent of using it. If I bought it and put it in a closet, it means I'm an axe collector, not an axe user, and I'm just not interested in collecting unused looking tools. If my dad bought one of these 50 years ago, I'd be more thrilled to inherit it in well used condition, because it would mean something.

I don't like scratches but I do accept them.

My Tag F1 has desk rash on the clasp, but no real scratches to speak of. My (bought used) Tag Pro 2000 is relatively scuffed up, and it just means it had a good life. My Sub is still relatively pristine with just the beginnings of some desk rash. I'll probably be sick the first time I bang it against something scratchy.
