Ouch! but...

as you said this is your fun watch....

On all ro you cannot avoid, at some time to get at least on scratch...this one will remind you of your good holiday time!
Seriously though, although it always hurts to get any scratch on any watch, would you prefer it to be perfect and in the safe or enjoy it and get some scratches?
It now has a bit more character, it looks used and more โ€œfunโ€.
I would advise you not to have it polished for at least a few months, you might end up liking it more. If not you can always have it serviced then...
You have a beautiful watch, keep on enjoying it!
Cheers

When you make a wrong decision and you regret it one second later... ...  

What did happen? [nt]

It's very painful, indeed, but I'll try to live with it

This is supposed to be my summer & fun watch, so scratches and dings are difficult to avoid

Exactly! And now I know I want to keep the watch, so no hurry at all

Initially I wasn't sure because of the size. But after testing it during my summer holidays (its main purpose), I'm sure it's a keeper ๐Ÿค—

Ouch ๐Ÿ˜ฌ [nt]

It breaks my heart too when such things happened ...

depending on how bad the ding/scratch, I might train my eyes not to look at it but for this case, Iโ€™ll probably send it to experts to fix it. Sorry to see that.

Thanks my friend

Like you, my eyes tend to look at it all the time. Let's see if I can live with it. My intention is to wait till first maintenance and make a decision then (polish or new bezel). Trying to be positive, it's not so bad to have some marks on your "fun" watc... 

Depends

If its a daily wear watch used as a work watch, I wouldnโ€™t mind these scratches etc. compare it to the first โ€œpark mg door dentโ€ in your new car. If the watch is used more formal it the damage is lethal

I agree. It still hurts, but you're right

"Fortunately" this watch is not intended for more formal use

As my wife ........

who like all women is always sympathetic to a fault says whenever I complain at length about a mark on any of my watches - marks that are too slight for most people to see with the naked eye BUT I KNOW THEY ARE THERE! - Don't worry, it adds more character... 

Nonsense. Check this out...

I tend to disagree my friend -- this watch is your daily beater, and in fact, these small dings will likely happen again. There's no aesthetic damage whatsoever, just more character now!;-)

As a corollary, you'll enjoy this AP freely from now on -- and have one more story to tell about your eventful vacation! Cheers.

Thanks a lot my friend, I do appreciate your support

I definitely need positive inputs to get over this incident ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Ouch, that hurts!

I feel you. It happened to me on my RO, twice, with the same doorknob, in a period of five minutes. It's easier to fix than it looks, if you are lucky enough to know the right person to do it. Although you can learn to live with it, and just enjoy your be... 

I'll try my best to live with it ๐Ÿ™

Tonight I've been wearing it for dinner and I've been able to eat, which is a positive first step in the right direction ๐Ÿ˜…

Much better ๐Ÿ˜Š Time is the best medicine!

Thanks for asking, my friend!

Scars

 
 By: Joe90 : July 16th, 2019-22:45
I think we tend to get hung up on "what if...". Unfortunately it happened. Fortunately it doesn't look bad...like everyone says you will probably remember this vacation for a while! It's also a good thing that the bezel is more easily replaceable than say... 

Thanks Joe, you're totally right, things happens...

 
 By: 1WatchMan : July 17th, 2019-01:07
And some scars are the proof.

Donโ€™t Worry.

A sporty watch deserves a lot more scratches than that. Donโ€™t fix it. It looks good.
