FOUR months now....and still lookin' good, uh?
Hi guys,
I've had Platty for near on FOUR months now (purchased 1st Dec. 2007) and I've tried my best to keep the clasp in good shape and relatively scratch-free.....considering it has the centre bit polished!! Picture taken today!!

Looks great JJ! All those months of babying Platty is paying off.
I learned that if you basically are aware that you are wearing the watch every second its on your wrist, and I literally mean every second, the watch will look new forever.

Very nice JJ
Do you put scotch tape over the clasp when you're desk diving?

Be honest JJ -
1. did you wear it every day or you put it in the pillow? 2. did you put a tape onto the clasp and just peeled it off today? 3. did you get it serviced just now? If none of the above, then Well Done! You're keeping it well! gratz :) |

Well done, I know that its not an easy to protect the clasp, as it usually does make contact with a lot of surfaces

2. No tape on the clasp. 3. Now which idiot would service a watch that's only 4 months old? JJ

you can see JJ hasn't left the tape or seals on...there are a few hairline scratches on the furthest right centre panel of the clasp.
Wow...never thought JJ and hairline would be mentioned in the same post!!!!!!! Just kidding JJ...Platty looks fab. J |

She's certainly one pampered YM!!
