Sharp corners on the Supercase?

Hey Guys.

My wife & I were just having a play-fight (I told her the coffee she made me was too hot so she attacked me!! ) & before we knew it she had quite a nasty 'pinch?' or 'dig?' in her wrist where her forearm caught the edge of my GMTIIc?!?


I'll post a pic' (if my wife'll let me take one later?!) but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar or even noticed the sharp-ish corners on the Supercase?




It's now half hour or so after the event though & I've just checked my beloved over again.......
........luckily she's over the shock & there's no dents, scratches nor remnants of my wife's flesh nor blood on her.




((Yes Yes Randy mate..... I'll email Rolex HQ now & ask them to send you your 'Supercase' royalties ..... & that goes for Tilley too btw 'cos my Hemp T4 just arrived yesterday complete with 'bug-outs' & it's awesome! Thanks for your help on that! )

Just stop play fights with your wife, maybe one day she will raise a (super) case against you.

:j ustkiddi

Jusr send the watch in for some Bexley polish and your problems have blown away.

You cheeky *****s!!

Good point well made though I'll give you that!!

(although 'pink on a strap' [as opposed to a bracelet] was the brief & to be fair wifey does love it!.... leaves all the more in the watch-kitty for Yours Truly too so "everyone's a winner baby....." ...... )

also referred to as a "OW!!! Your ***ing watch just black mans pinched me you you b*st*rd!!" so yeah I reclon you're probably onto something there Randy mate...




PLEASE NOTE: "Black Mans Pinch" is NOT a racist term & is often used [in the UK at least] to describe 'pinch-type' injuries which lead to a small & intense bruise/clotting of blood? such as those shown on my wifes wrist.
