Hulk 'Smashed' In First Week
Ah well, just got the Hulk last week from local AD and wore it for our Las Vegas wedding. Upon coming home and resetting the time this morning noticed the bracelet is already scratched up. It's the third link on 12 am/pm side. Think i know when this happened; right after our wedding in the limo.... Ah well, good times in Vegas.
 Would say more, yet what happens in Vegas...  Worth it!

No big deal at all IMHO. As crazy as it sounds, I’d actually like this scratch if I were you. I could look at it and remember that it happened on my wedding day. I think there’s something nice and nostalgic about that.
Eventually when you get the watch serviced years down the road they’ll polish it and it will look good as new. Congrats on the wedding!

Congrats on the wedding!
The good thing is with brushed SS the scratches become less noticeable over time. Shame it didn't happen to the 4th removable link though. Either way a Sub is tank and good for daily use |

Ouch!
Although scratches (I have a couple) sometimes go with good memories, that really stinks when it's so brand new. The good news is it's an easy fix if you are so inclined. It actually looks like the entire scratch is wholly contained within the one link so if you wanted to, you could just swap the link and be brand new again. Either way, I'm sure the memories were well worth it. Congratulations! ETA: Whoops! Never mind. I just saw it's the third link, so not swappable. Sorry. Wear it with pride!

Part of your memories, and won't look like more than normal wear and tear soon enough.

Yes adds character and you’ll be able to tell your watch apart from someone else’s...at least it happened at a memorable occasion, I’ve scratched mine before on a hoody zipper ��

Congrats, OP!
I'm with the team that says the scratch is worth the memories associated with it.

Totally ruined!
I'll take it of your hands for a couple of grand. I'll be doing you a favour.  You'll get lots of responses saying, "OOO! I love photo's of a well loved tool watch" etc,etc....ad nausium.

Although it won't disappear completely, it will dull over time and become less noticeable.
