Horological Meandering

I just scratched the bracelet of my overseas on a fridge and feeling kind of down about it. ...  

Fell playing platform tennis and that’s one scratchy surface. ...  

Did you polish it, or just let it be?

but on my refrigerator rather than my watch. Twice! And not a very good touchup job either! Oven door if left slightly open to cool, impacts the left refrigerator door on a sharp angle. Under all other conditions the clearance is fine. I feel your pain on...  

That Seiko looks awesome “worn.” Which is cool about it, and other rugged sport watches.

He was an oceanographer and had been to all 7 oceans with it. Close your eyes if you are bothered by damage! The hand-made nylon NATO strap was really revolting and crusted. ...  

Right on!

Oh my gosh!!! 😬😬😬😬😬 You got it replaced?

I also dropped my Platinum Datograph on the kitchen tile, my AP Safari got a 2mm chunk out of the bezel, which required replacement, and the list goes on... In my twenty years of collecting I became a black belt in watch testing.😂 They’re just watches, ob... 

Sorry to hear this, Z. Glad it was sorted in the end Best regards

Your post made me feel a lot lot better. Thank you.

So no worries just enjoy...

Yes, I am trying to tell myself I can live with it.

The diamond won 🤦‍♂️😅 Normal day at the office. Someone with a large diamond ring grazed my blue white gold reverso. Left a dink right next to the crown . What are the odds ? low .. but as per the law of large numbers, it happened. oh well. With watches t...  

Great that you kept great spirits after the diamond!

Have you decided what to do with your dink?

Just trade out the one link, not sure.

I still remember. It was around 10am ! Oh well

Great words from a well deserved collector. Any envy piece on your wrist today to make us happy?

🤣🤣🤣🧐 I’ll get you the $100 Kobe Cheesteak at Barclay Prime! It has truffles too!

...  

You are a good man! Watches look great!

Happy for your presence!

...  

You should be feeling much better now... 😜 ...  

Don’t plan on polishing service soon?

I'd only ding them up again after an hour's wear, anyway. I will get the crown on my Memovox replaced next time it's serviced, though.

I need to learn.

I try to type elevated.

Actually just a ceramicized coating on aluminum, as I understand it. Obviously very thin, and questionably wear-resistant, to boot. I'm waiting to see what happens to the case, which is the same material. 🤞

is it titanium or matte stainless steel?

...  

This is not too bad. Least from this pic.

are the dings at 6:30 and 6:34 near the bezel screw at 6:35? it doesnt look too deep

Luckily, it only looks deep under a loupe/microscope. It bothered me for the first 5 mins and I moved on after that.

...  

I am always upset at first when I notice the bad dings, scratches or scuffs...but i buy my watches to wear and it ends up adding character to the piece! -D- Ran into the corner of the wall, drywall scuffed the hesalite between the 1 and 2 marker right on ...  

Wonderful pieces! Definitely some love going on there. The “wear” on your pieces look great, hoping to see more of your pieces soon. 😉😉
