If you’re trying to keep any watch in pristine condition then don’t wear it.

Would love to see a photo!

I don’t rlly care much about the scratches. My 126710BLRO which is valued much higher is beat to all hell and it doesn’t bother me.

I think purchasing this watch brand new and seeing it for the first couple days in pristine mirror finished glory, just to have it all scuffed a week later hurts a bit but I’ll get over it

DJ41 similar case and centre polished is the same. Just looking at it funny seems to scratch it but only one who notices is the wearer.

Same here. The first few hurt, but you soon don’t flinch when you catch one.

I honestly do not know how people wear their watch WITHOUT getting the fine scratched on the polished bits…
