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....

rolexgiants · 12 March 2009, 03:52 AM

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.

i agree... to each his or her own... but to wear a gold bracelet to constantly bang into all day.... i dont get it!!!!

scottschoe · 12 March 2009, 04:17 AM

She's wearing/enjoying the watch..nothing wrong with that.

PS big fan of the cartier love bracelet

most women dont care if it bangs up or get scratches or hitting a hard object on the watch....im with you...i cringe all the time every time i hear my wife says "oopppss" ...hahahahah...most this things happen especially when we are eating out when she puts her watch on the table and i will here a screeetcchh and stop eating and look at her...i always tell her would you want me to drag your handbag on the floor? hahahahhaha i know the feeling...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey! not ALL women are like that!

Lion · 12 March 2009, 12:30 PM

Personally I would not wear a bracelet and a watch together on the same wrist but each to their own!!! Since it doesn't bother her why would I care what she did. Probably to her if it gets banged up she'll just buy a new one.

SLS · 12 March 2009, 12:35 PM

I bought my mom a TT and she wears at least one bracelet on the same wrist...at first I cringed but then realized as long as she is happy, that is all that matters. To most people their watch is just a watch, regardless of what name is on the dial.

If you own it, SCRATCH IT!!!

Wear the timepiece without a worry!!!

SubDiver · 12 March 2009, 01:57 PM

Interesting how many people do not care about scratching. I certainly didn't fork out many thousands of dollars to damage my property. And by the way, scratches are considered damage in addition to wear and tear.
