That's beautiful! I love seeing these kinds of posts. Great to see a watch being fully enjoyed long term with "battle scars" and all. Keep enjoying that beauty!

Nice watch
I like how the photos depict that it’s being used for it’s intended purpose

Yeah, going to Walmart and hitting it against the cart. Those don't look like diving scars (the actual intended purpose).

This is a well-loved example.

Love seeing these tool watches used as they were designed.

Is that just from normal desk diving wear? Something tells me you either work and/or play hard. Either way looks cool!

Looks like you’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and that’s how it should be. Congrats.

Has it been your one and done watch over the last 6 years?

Lightweight scuffing.
Let's see some deep gouges and scratches on the sides and dents on the corners.
A bit of random weld spatter wouldn't go astray either
Must try harder
