Are you okay with your Rolex flaws?
My daily wear is a Sub.

It has small scratches at 6:00 on the crystal.

I don't plan to replace the crystal..

What about your watch?..

Mine are in pretty good shape at the moment. But I'm sure I'll have a mishap or two. It's just a matter of when.

Mine all in good shape but don't really care about minor scratches and normal wear...part of ownership. Just wear and enjoy them and that works for me.

I have a tiny chip in the crystal of mine. You can't see it. You can only feel it. I don't care when wearing it, but since I like to flip, it may be problematic down the road. Oh well, I'm not going to stop wearing it just to avoid a few bumps and bruises. I'm going to continue to enjoy wearing it as is.

Minor scratches and swirlies on my clasp and bracelet, doesn't bother me. These are the things that make it mine.

If these scratches are okay with Tom then any minor flaws on my watches are fine with me. Btw, this is how my wife's watches look in between service and she's totally cool with it and I'm cool with it too.

Btw, love this diamond WG Sub, Tom.

Definitely not flaws, but maybe wear & tear would be an appropriate analogy?!?!
