I can't remember the birthdays of some of my loved ones, but that is not the case for my beloved Submariner! One year ago today, I bought my 116610 in Dallas, Texas on the way home from a weekend trip with my wife to Nashville, TN. Not a day has passed that I haven't glanced at my wrist and beamed with pride at its' beauty. I'm so proud of it!

On that day a year ago, I told you all that this would one day be my son's watch. He was two years old when I bought it and we have since found out that baby #3 is on the way. I'm hoping for a boy, as that would mean another Rolex with no pushback from the wife. Here's the picture that I took of my son and I one year ago today, when I arrived home and let him try on the watch that will be his one day:

So, now what I'm wondering is "how good of a job have I done of caring for my watch in its' first year?" Despite wearing my Submariner everyday and in all activities that I participate, I try very hard to keep it safe, clean and free of scratches. I've done a good job of not getting any scratches on the crystal or bezel. No drops or any major trauma of any kind, thankfully. The bracelet definitely shows where I have worn it, set it on surfaces, such as my desk, and acquired light scrapes throughout the last year. I wondered if you might look at the pictures below and give me your thoughts on its condition. Is the wear and tear that my watch has experienced normal or is mine taking an above average beating? Do you have any tips for me to reduce the look of these scratches or prevent them in the future? I appreciate this community and very much enjoy my timepiece and the brotherhood here!

...and lastly, the birthday wrist shot:
