You're absolutely right! I meant it really tongue in cheek.
It's totally a joke. But, from a pragmatic and practical perspective, having a watch with these scratches does hide scratches a clumsy person would otherwise get on such a watch. So, this is great for someone who would likely bang a watch around. And yes, it's definitely difficult and time consuming to achieve this cool finish!
Would You Like Your Watch To Come Pre-Scratched From The Factory?
Could you say this watch is scratch resistant? Since it comes already pre-scratched from the factory? And since if you added your own scratches, it wouldn't be noticeable? Link To The Full Review: www.watchprosite.com ...
I like this "meteorite" finish! And I have a clumsy friend whom would be perfect for this watch!
I have a clumsy friend who scratches his watches left and right. Every day he's getting his watch scratched in some elevator door, door way, wall, or fence. This would be a great watch for him!
Not a new idea…
Seiko did this in the 1990s, with the SUS line. Not exactly scratched in a conventional way but pre-stressed, like the then popular stone washed jeans. 👖 A bit less extreme than the Bvlgari approach… ...
I'm not sure calling it pre-scratched is really fair.
I can't imagine how long and hard it would be to get even close to replicate this look on a non filed version in fact i would say it is virtually impossible. But I suppose for those that are rough on their watches this design feature would be perfect as t...

I knew you weren't being serious and humour is hard to see sometimes on the internet.
i think I need to learn how to add those emoji things to some of my posts, which may have made my post better. Marc
This is a very luxury looking "pre- scratching".
I actually like the look. You want real factory scratching and aging,then have a look at the Laco Erbstück models 😲😳
I agree! A luxurious pre-scratching!
I really like the look too. It's supposed to symbolize rock/imperfection. And the mirror is supposed to symbolize water/perfection. A great juxtaposition!
Not only for watches - available on guitars too
Look for a Guitar - Mike McCready Stratocaster and it's described as having road worn finish. I'd describe it as pre battered! My scratches are my history. Cheers JML
Quite possibly the best limited edition
It’s totally cool to wear Lee Ufan’s art piece on the wrist. The monochromatic feel, interplay between the black abyss of a dial and the meteorite/rock texture of the bracelet and case is minimalistic and natural. I think Ufan’s artistic style is easy to ...
Big congrats to you!!!
Looking forward to reading your impressions of it! I've been staying away from the Bulgari store. They called me. They have one. And I'm afraid if I go in, I'll like it so much that I'll buy it!
Oh. And I don’t mind it “pre-scratched”
It’s rather ingenious to turn “scratches” into an artistic expression. It’s done with purpose and intention therefore I can’t really consider them as scratches. Best Gatsby
Agreed!
Scratch represents the rock and the crystal and dial represents the water. Such a harmonious combination. Very artistic!
