AD Scratched Daytona Update

[JacksonRain]

Hi everyone,

First off, no disrespect to Padi (since that thread was closed), and I hope this post finds him well as well as the rest of you.

As many of you are aware, I created a thread that went somewhat viral, regarding my dealer scratching my watch when sizing.

I want to simply fill you all with an update, as I know many of you were curious and following the end results. Here's what happened:

I've spoken to both the SA and the tech. This likely happened in the hands of the SA. The tech apologized, and I spoke with my SA, and both of them proposed that I come and polish it and that they can simply lightly buff it out. I respectfully declined, but I thanked them genuinely for their offer.

I told my SA not to worry, to just be careful, Im actually proud because I was reassuring her that it's not a big deal, and told her I have love for her and she's always a pleasure to deal with. Basically told her not to give it another thought at all and not to worry. I found myself reassuring her that it's okay, because you know what, it is. The thing is on the clasp, it's not on the case, and it could barely even be seen as a light hairline scratch.

This is coming from someone who is admittedly very hypersensitive. I put 3M on my watches for God's sakes!

But with that said, it's definitely a lesson learned and I definitely think that it helps you all - keep the plastics on the watches when sizing, and then ask your ADs to take them off subsequently.

Just the last element or background for thought: the Hulk, Pepsi, and white panda Daytona (or semi panda ;)) were all purchased within a matter of about a year, with absolutely no other purchases and no other history, and without being too specific, I live in one of the most affluent, wealthy, and saturated areas in the WORLD, where VIPs easily will spend a million or two a year. And I'm not one of those VIPs and they have treated me with nothing but respect and kindness.

Thank you everyone for your comments, no matter what they were. And I'm very happy I'm part of this community.
