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!!

Gaijin · 29 March 2008, 03:24 PM

Looks great JJ!

BiG JeEzY · 29 March 2008, 03:49 PM

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.

mickeydainish · 29 March 2008, 03:53 PM

very good JJ. Nice pics too. I know you are very carefull with her....so I would not have expected any less. Good on ya Mate!! :-)

jasonbellevue · 29 March 2008, 03:54 PM

Very nice JJ

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

Scooby · 29 March 2008, 04:45 PM

Nice clasp. How do you open it?

Thani · 29 March 2008, 05:11 PM

looking good JJ

2careless · 29 March 2008, 05:23 PM

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 :)

topcat30093 · 29 March 2008, 05:40 PM

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

Andad · 29 March 2008, 05:45 PM

Looking good JJ.

Is it the same one?

Jocke · 29 March 2008, 05:50 PM

That explains why your head are so shiny.

1. No pillow....just wear it every day.....very carefully.
2. No tape on the clasp.
3. Now which idiot would service a watch that's only 4 months old?

No scotch tape, Jason. Desk diving is done with the right hand....watch is on the left.....no relation whatsoever!!

I am extremely careful at all times and fully aware of the watch on my wrist....I think that's important!!

Nice clean watch. Not look any scratches on it. You take care your watch very well, Pal.

Jimbits76 · 29 March 2008, 10:06 PM

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.

OYSTERMANN · 29 March 2008, 10:10 PM

Well done, JJ, keeping your beloved Platty in near showroom condition - especially as she's out with you every day

She's certainly one pampered YM!!

CEG · 29 March 2008, 10:46 PM

JJ, she's a beaut mate - still looking good...

I expect she won't need a valet at her 5 yr service

Saying that - as if you'll still own it then

Good work ya tosser

I 've been wearing my GMT II C for 66 days straight and now scratches so far.

Just a few that you can barely see them. I am taking good care of my only watch

kcmo · 30 March 2008, 12:14 AM

Well done JJ!

Looks great! I'm also very conscious of my watch at all times.

timackerman · 30 March 2008, 12:22 AM

Courmayeur1 · 30 March 2008, 01:01 AM

JJ you set the standard pretty high for those of us who baby our watches!

Incurable · 30 March 2008, 01:16 AM

Come on now... it's hard to scratch your watch when all you do is manhandle woolly beasties...
