My IIc is a tough watch, at work or at the gym when a metal handle came around and slapped the watch on the front of the bezel, there was no scratches at all, even after it made a loud sound when it hit the watch.

Im suprised how much many risk with their watches.. Sure they are meant to take a smack or two...but I dont want to be concerned about it while wearing during work or rough play..
At work I use a inexpensive no name because I need to concentrate on the job and not the hobby, and at play I use a damage proof rubber sports watch which is made for total abuse. The rest of the time I enjoy my watches without concern of damage.....if the unfortunate does happon...it can be fixed...

The freakin' perils of wearing a high end watch. I am glad to hear you're no worse for wear!

I smashed my GMT IIc againsts a painted metal door and it made the loudest bang noise you have ever heard....... watch was completely intact, paint on door did not fare so well... it chipped. Great job Rolex!

One good thing about poor eyesight, total bliss from microscratches

However, door frame gouges, well that's another story
