Battle Scars Acquired

Nothing like wrestling around on concrete with a Hulk on one wrist and a Batman on the other. My friend has on his GMT, as well.

This is what we mean when we say that watches are meant to be worn and not kept in a safe, right? Found a few fresh knicks on my watches this morning when I sobered up, but hey...life goes on.

And for those of you wondering, no I don't normally wear two watches. I brought one out because one of my friends wanted to see it and instead of bringing it back inside, I just put it on my other wrist.

Enjoy the video

Not my idea of "fun" especially wearing sandals and expensive watches.

Everything is subjective, including "fun" and "expensive."

It's not fun unless "Hey y'all, watch this" is said and/or a trip to the emergency room is taken.

LOL the backstory behind this is I hosted a July 4th BBQ at my place and my friend (the one in the video) was trying to throw me into the pool

hes a cop and obviously much bigger than me, but I tried to put up as best a fight as I could

we had more than a few drinks too, obviously

Ive ruined plenty of things when drinking.. I feel ya OP.

I take mine off when Im doing things where there is sure to be a high potential for damage. Knock on wood I have never broken a phone screen. I think Id cry if I broke my crystal (15 year old original) or scratched up the lugs on my Rolex.

I did scratch my bracelet the other day when working a quote up in front of a client.. I did my best not to show how pissed I was.

To each their own..

Last time I was in Boston was many years back and my battle scars were on my face not my watch. But this doesn't look like the boston I visit back in the college days.

Love how there's just a random guy in a dinosaur costume btw. lol.
