A buckle is new to me. It sits under the wrist, so not in the spot light. But i can not accept bad sized pushpins, and pushpin noise of cheap pushpins. Genuine pushpins fits stiff. Omega for example.
Wait until you see my aluminum Rimowa suitcase, a high end hotel dropped my almost pristine suitcase on their driveway! That suitcase was in near perfect condition after several years of usage.
British Airways is indeed terrible in many regards! I can agree with you there! My carry on was in very good condition, until it suffered the drop at a very high end hotel chain. It had flown hundreds of thousands of miles in a few short years, but ironic...
Normally i view the case to hold it scratch free. A buckle is new to me. It sits under the wrist, so not in the spot light. But i can not accept bad sized pushpins, and pushpin noise of cheap pushpins. Genuine pushpins fits stiff. Omega for example.
Just tell yourself from now on, you no longer need to babysit it while you are wearing it. Enjoy the watch. Decades later, this is one of the characteristic of a vintage.
