For a moment I thought it was... Like your philosophy!
But will hold back for now, as I already recently ordered a custom strap from JR, and thanks to Captain Scarlet I also just placed an order for the REM strap. 🙈 Edit: got the name wrong. Apologies!
I'm not wearing it now. It's a single-pass canvas nato strap.
And, strangely enough, the stitching mark the case back very heavily! Now I use the nylon one for diving!
I think scratches, even on watches add personality, history, and beauty. Although it would depend on how deep the trauma is.
I do seriously think this adds beauty! I had a 7mm grace to a similar part of my late 5146G. Did not really bother me... after the second day.
