Beware of Pant Pockets!

This little pin is dangerous! After a brisk night walking with my hands in pocket, I was greeted by these little scratches. I keep my things pristine (always PPF my cars), so this was a slap to the face on week two of ownership.

Has this happened to anyone else? If not - be warned!

Nope, but last night was a beautiful night in Chicago for a walk! We saw a concert in West Town and walked home to River North, great evening!

This!

Also the buckles and chain on their bags! That’s why I almost always walk on the left side, it minimizes chance of impact. lol

I only wear a Rolex and nothing else, but I do worry about scratches from body hair.

So that's where we get the term "hairline scratches..."

Ouch! Man that had to hurt more than a mule kicking you in the family jewels… jeans and luxury watches don’t mix filed to memory.
Thanks for the heads up I will bubble wrap them if I ever wear a pair jeans again. All kidding aside though you really couldn’t feel the pants rivet hitting the watch?

There may have been a few cocktails involved…

I feel inclined to get this corrected. It’s just such an awkward pattern and location. Quick and easy polish?

Easy fix but I'd leave it. Watches get used - over time its less noticeable

Cape cod cloths.

It’s the side of the clasp anyway, no one will see it. Mine are all chewed up except my DJ as I only wear it on special occasions.

It's ruined now, might as well throw it away. I can't believe you actually wear that, it should be hidden in a bank vault.

Ouch!

Thanks for the heads up. That would upset me as well. And such new a watch. Oh well. First of many.

Soft pants only buddy. No rivets or extraneous metal is allowed.
