Life is too short, enjoy the scratches.



Live life and enjoy. There are so many things in life that we worry about that don’t mean a thing in the end.

Spend time with your family
Grill some steaks
Go on a scenic bike ride
Tell your friends you care about them

Life’s too short to dwell on scratches and dings, when the rest of it has been shining the whole time.

It’s funny, but I wear my BLNR once or twice over a two week period, year round, and have not one scratch. My Sub is worn the same time period and has many a battle scar. Maybe by chance, maybe by luck of the days activities...

Well said.
I feel the same way about scratches on my Watches and even on my beautiful BMW M3. It's a machine and I drive it hard. Those scratches are EARNED damnit!
