Am I finally a growing up WIS?

SMOCK…. It happened in a thoughtless second. Yesterday evening I was invited and met a large group of very dear friends. I switched from my brand new GP Tourbillon to the 5146R at the last second for this evening. Luckily... I am passionate about wearing ...
If you wear your watches, it can happen any time

It has happened to me quite a few times. Not pleasant, but it is what it is 😅 That bezel looks OK, almost impossible to keep it pristine. Have a look at this buckle, and I wear the watch with care... ...
Nice scratches… 😎

But on the back it's not bad at all. I had that with my Aquanaut on the third day... ☺️ ...
Hahahaha.

I think the RG alloy of this „sports and travel“ watch is very soft. I had the same problem with a JLC Reverso. On the other hand, on my Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (and I treat it like a sports steel watch!), you can't see the smallest scratch even after two...
Lovely watch!

Interesting that Blancpain's alloy is harder. By the way, really love that pink rotor matching the color of the case 👌🏻
Boaaaaah!!

I have to admit,

despite my … formidable … attitude now, seeing my first girlfriend with another guy is still less of a problem.
I tend to be careful with my watches
By: andrea~ : July 1st, 2023-12:05
But I don't mind scratches as much as I used to... they are an inevitable souvenir of your experiences. The worst was when I banged the clasp of my 9-day old datejust on a door handle and scratched it deeply. I freaked out. Now I look at that huge scar an...
The scratch on my Aquanaut must be very superficial.
By: MTR : July 1st, 2023-15:32
You don't feel any notch. Not even with your fingernail. I'll wait a little longer. The scratch appears to be darkening?? 🙏🙏 Maybe it also has something to do with the lighting conditions, but you can hardly see it anymore, only in the strong light at spe...
Not exactly a scratch
By: Steyr : July 3rd, 2023-04:58
but brushed surfaces have very narrow and sensitive oriented edges. A "strong" contact will bend and soften those edges. Even more if it occurs with a different orientation. The reflection of the light is changed making them obvious or not, depending on t...
Thank you for your very interesting explanation!
By: MTR : July 4th, 2023-14:44
And: somehow the mark darkens and so gets … better? I think, these brushed surfaces look really nice but are not the most robust. I feel good. Everything is fine! ☺️ Thank you for your comforting comment! Thomas ...
I knocked at many frames and doors with my PM Daytona
By: penfriend : July 1st, 2023-14:40
and sold it recently after 15 years at 2.5 the original price. Could have been 3.0 with a safe queen - the fun of wearing it a lot was worth the 0.5 difference We should not think too much about scratches as long as we aren't flippers ;-)
The only flipper I like
By: MTR : July 1st, 2023-15:34
is the cute dolphin from the series of the same name when I was a kid. 😁
That isn’t a scratch
By: j.jota : July 1st, 2023-15:47
…it’s historical patina enjoy this wonderful Patek +++
Definitely!
By: MTR : July 2nd, 2023-05:59
It’s such a shame when posts show beautiful watches that are taken out of the safe for some pictures and are not even freed from the plastic…
Ouch!
By: MTR : July 2nd, 2023-06:07
But fortunately it is on the side and not at the front. Which watch model is it? It may read now...perverted...but an expensive watch even looks...cooler...on your wrist when you can see that it's been worn. That says something about the wearer. Yes, I ha...
Watches are definitely meant to be worn.
By: MTR : July 2nd, 2023-06:12
And it’s for also a factor of … coolness“ when you don’t „babyish“ a watch. Then you are „above things“ and use a watch for what it was made for, which is as an everyday item.
That's a minor scratch ,albeit on a prized watch.....
By: halkcb : July 2nd, 2023-02:36
I applaud your attitude on noticing it I have also adopted the same view towards my scratched pieces,which after all have to be worn to be enjoyed. However,the sticking point is,i almost always zero in on where the scratches are every time i wear the piec...
I won’t focus on that.
By: MTR : July 2nd, 2023-06:17
Yesterday evening I wore the watch again and completely forgot this scratch. I didn’t even see it. And moreover, “the universe” seems nice to me because the brightness of the scratch is fading away more and more. You have to look really closely (with glas...
Could have been worse and... I know how you feel.
By: doubleup : July 2nd, 2023-02:47
That is a spot that will be brushed good as new when going back for servicing. Now you are liberated to scratch it up more if it happens without panic ! I am the same way, my first "nice" watch a Tiffany with an ETA movement is so bad.... I wore that thin...
Hahahaha
By: MTR : July 2nd, 2023-06:31
I think the worst things always happen when you're trying to be extra careful. I've completely stopped this behavior now. At some point I realized it was pointless. The reason for this realization was the following story: The worst watch related thing tha...
Even if you try
By: Jari from Finland : July 3rd, 2023-20:18
to avoid scratches you can't. There is always something unexpected to make them.
