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.

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!
