Watches are meant to be worn! Every hairline adds character and individuality. Wear it daily, it'll be fine!

Why do people say the bracelet will get scratched up? What are you guys doing with your watches? Rubbing them on cement?

I have had so many SS watches with basically no marks as long as you are aware of what you are doing. I have an omega james bond edition that is my default I don't care what happens to it watch. And even that, I just have marks on the clasp. Very faint marks if that. The rest is 100%, and it's like a 10 year old watch.

if you so much as tap your wrist on a desk you will get a mark. maybe when you put your hands in your pocket and the button corner of the jeans hit it. Sometimes when I am taking off my seatbelt it will tap if I am being quick. I guess I am careless

Also for me the blue dial is the most desirable

I wonder which jumbo is more desirable. The blue dial or white dial?

No I know the original is the most. I'm wondering though why the new 40th is doing so much better than the previous one for resale.

Because it's perfect, if to take the previous one I find the 300 looks better, the 40th is closest to the original...

But isn't the only difference in look between the 15300 and previous 15202 just the seconds hand?

I don't count thicker and screw down crown to effect the look that much.
