Who else has OCD when it comes to their watch? Do all of us?

[JPP]

Just genuinely wondering why scratches bother us so much. Dings and major damage I understand but even I am mystified as to why scratches on the bracelet and case bother me so much. I read all the posts about the polished centre links scratching easily and how much even small scratches bother people. I took my SD to have the bracelet adjusted to RSC in London and it came back with tiny, tiny damage to the screw heads on both screws on the links and some small scratches on the side of the clasp where the watchmaker had clearly used the 'pin' tool to push in the microadjustment pins and had missed the holes.

And on my Exp II I have some pretty good scratches on the case and the same as what happened to my SD happened with my Exp II when I had the bracelet adjusted - damage to the screws on scratches on the side of the clasp.

And it really bothers me. And I don't know why! It seems scratches are inevitable - and cannot be avoided when making adjustments. The steel is obviously very prone to scratching hence all the stickers the watch has when new. No other watch make seems to have quite so many.

So why do scratches bother the majority as much as they seem to. Is it related to the value of the watch - is our OCD about the things we own related to how much we pay for them?

Shouldn't scratches and marks be a sign of a well loved and well worn piece? Os it the fact that these were put on my watch by someone else rather than me?

Do I need to go and lie down? Don't I have better things to worry about? Gahd help!
