Month and a Half Scratch’s

Right by and on the Cyclops. Top of crystal. Lot more faint ones. Thinking maybe I should stray from work with the watch.

Stuff is amazing. Even use it on one of my little aquariums made of cheap acrylic.

I have never been a fan of ‘safe queens’ and have always been of the opinion that watches were made to be worn.

However, in the case of your rootbeer I think it’s far too beautiful & precious to be used as an every day beater, especially if there’s a good chance it will get scuffed & scratched.

I’m not suggesting you wrap it in cotton wool and lock it away for ever - just be a little more selective as to when & where....

I am not a fan of safe queens unless of course it’s a Unicorn or lemon Lol. I think I just may leave it home while I’m at work. I guess you could say that I’m neither consciously nor subconsciously thinking about my watch. It’s kind of just there and becomes whole, one with me.

well in your case of Zen-like connection don't you feel your "one-with-me" watch whacking into stuff and getting scuffed?

Yes, but emergencies happen and in the moment I think of task at hand and not the watch.

I will probably opt out of wearing for now on at work.

Polywatch does sound like a great option since you just replaced the crystal. Still looks marvelous even with those little bitty scratches! you could also have your local watch guy do a quicky buff on the acrylic but they look to be very shallow and hardly noticeable.
