Some of these comments crack me up

That picture makes it look a lot worse than it is. I can feel it with my nail but nothing I can do about it now.

This watch will see a lot more before I'm done with it

My first scratch was on the exact same location. Didn't notice it when it happend either.

Eric, I’m sorry, but your watch is completely ruined. Tell you what.. Send it to me and I’ll pay you $50, just so it’s not a complete loss. Heck, I’ll even pay for shipping.

No need to thank me, just trying to help out a friend.

Yikes that's a nasty one, but it's still a beautiful watch.

Has anyone ever complied with this request

Is that a smurf ?? Gold is pretty soft.

Pw92676 · 4 June 2021, 10:01 AM

So is life. Don’t worry, just enjoy :)

motiontimers · 4 June 2021, 10:31 AM

That scratch will get me crazy, getting over it won't be an easy one.

Bladeshot · 4 June 2021, 10:39 AM

This, too, shall pass! And polish out someday.

NachoNeal · 4 June 2021, 11:08 AM

Blessing in disguise.
No further need to even attempt to baby that watch.

Scratches build character.

Whats the old saying there is no use tiptoeing through life, simply to land safely at deaths door. Same with watches.

Really don’t feel like negotiating at this point but a fair offer of a crisp Benjamin might have got the deal done. Oh well, maybe next time

Yes it is.

Sure gold is soft but SS scratches just as easy from my experience.

Not worried about it at all. I’m the only one who will know it’s there and as i said before, this watch’s has only began its journey.

JohnGingerwood · 4 June 2021, 12:35 PM

That’s…….I couldn’t handle it.

SaddleSC · 4 June 2021, 12:37 PM

Dang...that 18K is soft:) lol

peterpl · 4 June 2021, 12:41 PM

Wow thats a big one. LOL

On to the next scratch

Took my breath away when I first saw it.

Bizcut1 · 4 June 2021, 03:48 PM

LA Watch Works. Ask for Edvi.

dontbeshort · 4 June 2021, 04:07 PM

Never wear my Rolexes when playing golf . Way too easy to bash watches on club heads

Yes - but they're deeper on gold. My PP 5712 WG had to go in for a polish after only 2 years when I wore it mostly all the time :-(

Gold now just for dinner and work. Not leisure - at least I've got some great SS watches and 2 titanium ones for that :-)

Damn, pretty sure the insurance company would rate that as a total loss. If watches were constructed like cars you’d have mini airbags every where, poor thing is totaled, hard to even look at.

Honestly, this would make me cringe once, when I first notice it. Then it’s like oh well, it is metal. As JerryRigEverything always says but regarding glass....
Metal is metal and well, metal “will” scratch.
Enjoy that bad boy in health.

Ouch... That one would produce a string of obscenities followed by tears of agony!
