Would you believe it or not but that's a genuine INVICTA which some guy decided to take a sledge-hammer to!!

Nope. It's not indestructible either.

how about ask the jeweller to give you the warranty for his claims and provides a replacement if the DSSD fails.

Can you imagine his face when you go back for a new replacement after you drove a H1 over it and slammed a hammer on it... :-)

Me too.. I threw it out the window of a 10 or 11 story building. we picked it up and it was still working. I won that bet!!! It also saved me a trip to the hospital. I was cutting wood with a chop off saw and the saw went right into the watch and I had no idea until I lifted up the saw. It still works, but I suspect the watch is no longer waterproof.

Only if they upgrade the 904L to unobtainium, 904L is just two weak and the sapphire needs to be replaced with the even rararer transparent unobtainium.

Do you think these little scratched could be buffed out?

At least it spared the wearer some deep scrapes!!!!
