Are you asking me if I care about her Daytona? If so, no I dont care.....Or are you asking if I would do what she is doing.....Answer would be NO....

just seeing the watch all scratched up bothered me..... she only has it 6 months... looks like she took a hammer to it....

They are supposed to be worn, at least she is getting her money's worth. It's not my watch so it doesn't bother me, besides, a quick polish and it will look new.

scottschoe · 12 March 2009, 04:17 AM

My father has one and every so often I have to unscrew it for him so he can clean it....I am thinking about getting one but the price

I mean paying that much for gold....yeah I know I'm paying for that Cartier NAME.

ok ok but most that i know outside this forum jen...you almost gave me a heart attack..hahahahaha Muah!!!

folexhater · 12 March 2009, 04:25 AM

It depends on how bad the scratches are! If they're deep and very obvious to the naked eye, then I would be bothered!

SirLoki · 12 March 2009, 04:30 AM

reading this topic i thought you were talking about the company itself haha.

Jason71 · 12 March 2009, 04:49 AM

I get what the OP is saying. I agree with several people here on this thread.........Wear your watch. However, IMHO there is no reason to abuse it. It would be like taking a brand-new Ferrari through one of those "beat and slam" automated car-washes everyday. I had a friend with a brand-new sports-car while in High School. He took his car through one of those every 2-3 days. After ~ 6mos, it had worn the clear-coat off one side of the car.

She can do whatever she wants with her watch, but I do not abuse my Rolexes. That is why I also own a Seiko.

P.S. I guess it does depend on what a person's definition of abuse is.

Wildwing · 12 March 2009, 10:33 AM

Guys, it's Mars and Venus all over again, just accept it. You'll drop an egg on the kitchen floor and wipe your hands on the curtain and think nothing of it. Your wife will castrate you if she saw you do it.

On the other hand, the wife will scratch her watch to living hell, and brush her teeth and spill makeup in an Aston Martin, and wonder what the heck the big deal is.

Just accept it. It gives you an excuse to commiserate with both the auto mechanic and the watch repairman.

Amen to that! Different people have different priorities, is all I can add.

bradg · 12 March 2009, 11:06 AM

Scratches bother me..I'm careful...you have too much money invested to trash your rolex. my wife has an Omega and i see it laying around and i get a little POed. Women,not all now, can be a bit abusive to material things. Seems they just dont get it sometimes.

cody p · 12 March 2009, 11:11 AM

pricey bangle vs. fine time piece.

jaelyncruz · 13 March 2009, 07:48 AM

At least she is enjoying her watch !

Rebel · 12 March 2009, 11:22 AM

Years ago when I was a newbie with a Rolex, scratches bothered me....now, scratches don't get under my skin too much. I wear sport models and they are tool/functional watches....so, I just go with the flow.

Boopie · 12 March 2009, 11:42 AM

I've never worn a bracelet on the same wrist as my watch. The PCL of the Yachtmaster is a scratch magnet, but I don't do anything intentional that would cause it to become more scratched up. The crystal, bezel, and case (which is polished, not matte) look great on my watch after more than 8 years.

DesertDogs · 12 March 2009, 12:21 PM

OK - Since I seem to be the only other woman here that will confess - I do wear a gold bracelet with my Rolex.
