I'm with Tom!

Wear it, just don't use it as a hammer. You'll be fine!

scotiatime · 9 February 2014, 07:27 PM

ideally nonone wants their $3-5 thousand dollar watch to have dents, scratches.

jjnd08 · 9 February 2014, 11:12 PM

It's your only choice; eventually, life will happen to the watch.

RC2 · 9 February 2014, 11:41 PM

Depends. Scratches yes; chips and gouges no

What else can you do??? We all have flaws...

Jack T · 10 February 2014, 12:02 AM

From the descriptions here, and my own experience, I wouldn't call them flaws, just examples of minor wear and tear - scratches, swirls on the bracelet and the like. The watches themselves are not flawed, just the owners ;)

Roller07 · 10 February 2014, 12:28 AM

My watches don't have flaws.

On the bracelet and case, minor scratches add character to the watch, IMHO, unless they're very bad, especially the case. If it were the crystal, I'd be very upset, indeed!!!*LOL* ;-)

Other than desk diving scratches mine are good.

Joearch · 10 February 2014, 02:15 AM

I wear them and try not to look to close. More enjoyable on the wrist than in a drawer.

This is hard to explain but some of you will know where I'm coming from;
I find that when I notice some "character" on one of my watches it enables me to wear that watch more freely.

petenyc · 10 February 2014, 03:34 AM

little flaws are expected

jamesbondOO7 · 10 February 2014, 03:36 AM

I am ok only with those made by me. I would not accept any from the factory.

Wg sub, serti dirt and worn like it's meant to be

Rashid.bk · 10 February 2014, 04:39 AM

What you described aren't flaws. I love my Rolex and if I happen to mark it up I call myself a dumbass, get over it and continue to love it.
Life goes on and our relationship is stronger.

They are liberating if you allow them to be. Owning a Rolex to get dinged or scratched is a good problem to have.

I don't plan to replace the crystal..

What about your watch?..

i would replace the crystal if the scratches were noticeable.

anilzat · 10 February 2014, 07:23 AM

I have one from 1978-1979 and it's got character. I don't need to change anything about it. The bracelet rattles, the crystal isn't scratch free, the bezel is really tight, but it's mine and that is what counts the most.

Phil t 32 · 10 February 2014, 07:32 AM

I have a cardigan which was fashionable over 30 years ago, yes I did type fashionable, which I paid £60 odd pounds for, I've still got it, baggy with buttons missing it may be, but what a lovely feeling it is to wear it (only in the confines of my house I have to add), that's the way I want to feel about my one and only (at the moment) Rolex in thirty years time!!! If that makes sense.

beshannon · 10 February 2014, 08:18 AM

I wear every watch I own and none have flaws.

They all have evidence of use, just what they are made for

Agree, scratches on a crystal or the AR coming off are the things that I can't accept. Everything else is fine.

Ceramic bezel on that WG sub still looks good tho, hey?

Hardy Amis once said...take great care choosing what to wear and getting ready...then forget everything about it.
I think they look better worn in than brand new.

I have a small scratch on my crystal @ 4 and I have no idea how it got there. You can only see it at certain angles and given my watch was about 3 weeks old at bothered me at first. Now I don't even see it. Small swirlies on the bracelet no big deal. I try and take care of my stuff but don't fret.
