Dear Community, Friends, Members! This could be happen: if you make a photo-session and two of the contestants are so close that one touched with her crown the other: Well, it happened on that way, and although it was a very-very light touch, only a littl...  

I can understand your feelings, but I believe that you can also love scratchs and dings if minor as this one seems to me, they will remember good time spent on your wrist But I know the first one hurts more than the following ones... My 2 cents Ciao Luca

Indeed, the first cut is the deepest!

The "damage" you're talking about is that one i've red circled? If so, i really suggest you to wear your watches much more, with both care and levity, because tiny scratches always occur. ...  

Yes, wear them more, enjoy them, and soon, this will blend in with everything else. Any touching the case with polish, as you’ve said, you’ll know that it is now “different”

Yes, it is on the circle, what we are talking about! Well, actually it is not a damage, therefore I used the ‘ markings! I am wearing always my watches!

Accept it and move further (good luck) 😜 Fix it in the less invasive way is possibile. Don't worry, i know that feeling, your eyes will see that HUGE mark every second...😖😖😖😖 it's just a small step in a longer path (of insanity) 😁😁😁😁😁 ... 

I am the same if its about my watches or cars etc . Hate it when something like this happends . If it was me i would take care of it . Otherwise you will allways look at it when you have the watch on the wrist .

First I try to accept the presence of the tiny dot what I have caused to my darling and if I am not going better maybe I will try to get some cure...

Watches should be worn...bumped...repaired...otherwise what's the point... If you buy watch and place it under glass dome...it looses it's purpose....remember Zagreb GTG Don't worry be happy with your nice watches ...untouched watch...that's sick ...  

No message body

And I am still feeling sick if I see the picture you showed us!!!

I think that it depends on what you are collecting your watches for. Were you herding a flock of safe queens for investment purposes then I would probably say: Get the little dot removed. But as far as I know your watches get worn. This inevitably goes al... 

You elaborated much better than me in my reply to Adam, but I agree totally with what you wrote My English unfortunately is a little bit “rusty”... Best Luca

I just put down my own thoughts and it seems we have a very similar take on Adam's issue Warmest regards, Martin

yes I fully understand what you have written. I try to accept the minor, tiny scratches and to live with them together, although I hate imperfections! It is especially hard to accept the fact that I was the guilty with the assist of my other beauty! Truly... 

Keep your Lange as it is and wait for the next full service. At that time (maybe in 4 or 5 years), your Lange will have more tiny scratches (something I don’t wish of course). Then, you will have the choice to ask for a full polishing or not. Lange alread... 

many thanks for your wise advice! I am accepting it and will see, maybe I will get used to the tiny imperfection ( dot ) on my beauty queen! Friendly yours, Adam

Best wishes Alkiro

In this case a reminder of your WIS lunacy.

Yes, you are right, my friend! As the beautiful song sings: “ the Lunatic is in your head...” Yours, Adam

And the more I practiced these wise words, the more i appreciated wearing my watches. It have helped me, healing my obsessive compulsive disorder. So maybe it will help you to 😉 Have a nice weekend !

Well, it is really a wise advice, I hope I can accept it and will see only the perfect dial of the watch! Yours, Adam

I try to think about it in this way!

For me, I would try my best to ignore it. I know thats not something everyone can do; however, I would leave it till you do a servicing. During that they can fix any imperfections if you like to do that. Lange does laser filling before polishing so you lo... 

many thanks for your wise advices! Actually, the watch is at Lange for a service. Unfortunately they do not want to repair only the mark, just within a full case refurbishment, which is total unnecessary!! Therefore I will leave the mark there! Maybe am I... 

...seeing anything like that. And I'm very careful with my three Swiss watches (a couple of simple pieces and a finee one). None has been accidentally dropped, hit or scratched, but all have their marks. I would not tolerate if that mark came on the case ... 

I will leave it as it is!

Did you check that marking through a loupe? If yes, what do you see? A touch by another watch should not cause any scratch. Did you see a dent or a scratch ? Just making sure it is not something that can be wiped away by watchmaker's solvent. Many times I... 

well, it is indeed a dent, a mark, like a fog, not a scratch! Maybe I didn’t express well myself with using the word of “scratch”. Are you sure that there won’t be any material-loss with this method? Many thanks for your feedback, it helped me a lot! Your...

Just go to a professional, it can be solved within minutes

I am going to assume that I am in a minority here which is fine because we all have different priorities when collecting watches. I do not believe in watches that are scratched or damaged in any way even though one will find it very difficult to keep a wa... 

well, we are very similar: I touch my watches on a certain way that nobody ever can reach that level of smoothness. I never put my watches on a table if there is no watch table or at least a silk scarf or some other fine material. And I even sold a watch ... 

YG bezel: PT case (was brand new 3 months ago): PT bezel: WG case (flattened lug edge + lug scratches -- but the colors are just a reflected painting in the background!) PT case, 2 photos (the watch probably went through the laundry -- at least a washing ...  

horror, horror pictures! I am feeling sick myself! How could be that happen with a 3 Months old watch??? Yours, Adam

... the other day. I wear it often.

You should probably get it repaired. Personally though I would live with it.
