Appreciating My IIC as it Ages and Gains Beauty Marks

[thecoinopcollector]

I am a bit OCD. I fix the tassels on the Oriental rug and constantly pick fuzzies off the carpet. As such I was afraid to buy a Rolex because I thought I'd obsess over scratching it.

Well almost two years ago I made the big jump and bought a IIC. When I saw it at the AD it was love at first sight. For about the first month I babied it. I was constantly looking for scratches and polishing the clasp. Well 20 monts later I wear it daily and without a worry. I even played lacrosse with it on last week. It still looks great and the light scratches are only noticeable on close inspection. I think it is developing a classic worn look that I am really enjoying, and I may be crazy, but I think the Lume is developing a slight patina.

I never thought I'd feel this way but I think its aging beautifully. I still love the feel of the IIC on my wrist and I really love the feel of freedom I've developed in wearing it, that is wearing it without worrying about banging it up.

Anyway, just felt like a little rant and that's my two cents for today.
