As long as she didn't drop it on its face it should be fine on the crystal, but I know what you mean

It's just a DJ - maybe she needs a Platonia or Daytona?

I commend your wife for taking excellent care of her Datejust!

(cool Swatch, too)
Was thinking the same thing. Crystal is waaaay more scratch resistant than gold.

Ouch. Tell her she will be banished to wear a plastic Fossil. LOL

Shouldn't take much to take care of what you have, regardless of how tough it is. It's an expensive object. ;-)

Put her high heels in the garage in a big pile next to your dirty work boots and see what she says.

Compared to how my wife handles her Rolex I would say this is carefully looked after, lol

I'm strictly a "on the side, crown up" kind of guy. So that totally grinds away at me. Even if no damage is happening!

Confiscate it and ground her. She won't do it again.

And who's wife does not wear their Rolex with three or four other metal bracelets on the same wrist? I cringe every time but gave up long ago!

This is the way my wife takes care of her watches. Fortunately she does not have any valuable ones.
