I know it's only a scratch & probably the first of many but this first scratch Hurt more than I thought lol.

I guess I can now wear it as a watch and not protect it as much as I "thought" I was doing.

Long sleeves are going and the tshirts are back :)

mjclark32 · 27 November 2012, 04:57 AM

First cut is the deepest, now you can enjoy it and make it yours!

Frogman4me · 27 November 2012, 04:59 AM

Meant to be worn, don't sweat it ;)

Trouble15 · 27 November 2012, 05:00 AM

Adds character, wear it as it is meant to be.

mmmk604 · 27 November 2012, 05:01 AM

My first scratch was when I had been drunk

Dont regret it at all!

Dr. Robert · 27 November 2012, 05:04 AM

I feel your pain.

kilyung · 27 November 2012, 05:31 AM

Everyone who says it gets better lies! For me every scratch hurts... It's like death from a thousand cuts but what can you do but grin and live with it. C'est la vie!

Hairdude1 · 27 November 2012, 05:33 AM

Every scratch hurts!!!

Of course! You didn´t realized it until a week later!

It's funny I have no scratches on my watches.i never touch them to anything.i flip watches a lot so I don't have them long but even when I do I never get a scratch on them.i got an explorer that I've had for 11 months now and not a scratch to be found.i wish I could see scratches as you guys do I just can't handle scratches at all.

Bulldurham08 · 27 November 2012, 07:00 AM

Scratches suck. Period.

iohcgnoj · 27 November 2012, 07:02 AM

The first scratch definitely hurts, as does the first dent. I guess its the "materiality" of the scratch/dent, but I agree, the pain does subside after the first. I agree, that if it's a wearer, it makes it all the more enjoyable... I still remember my first major dent in my DSSD, and it is a big one, but, I got it with the kids at the fair, so despite the initial 'pain' it does bring a smile to my face (oddly). enjoy.

77T · 27 November 2012, 07:09 AM

First scratch might shed a tear...

First gouge on a ceramic bezel and you'll cry a river...

nick c · 27 November 2012, 07:15 AM

Every scratch I

brkanand · 27 November 2012, 07:19 AM

No point in worrying! Scratches are a harsh reality

WatchWeb · 27 November 2012, 07:24 AM

I will get used to it & as I said in my NATO thread, I'd rather scratch the strap than the ceramic/ watch itself.

Ill come to terms with it :)

gwozhog · 27 November 2012, 07:37 AM

Congrats you have officially lowered the resale value of your watch. It officially yours now.

financeman · 27 November 2012, 08:12 AM

The first is the most painful. They get easier from this point on

OMG you are so right...I didn't find out until I was deciding which watch to wear the weekend after haha

J.jun · 27 November 2012, 09:41 AM

I think scratches are ok.... But not the dings and dents from very hard knocks! Ouch!!!

caryyee · 27 November 2012, 09:55 AM

Just like with a new car, the first scratch is always painful! Thereafter, it lessens!

rmfnla · 27 November 2012, 09:59 AM

I just got my first ding on my new iPhone 5, so I feel your pain...

Car scratches are easy to fix though...

FeelingTheBlues · 27 November 2012, 10:08 AM

Well I don't really care about scratches but I'm sorry to read yours hurt!

That's okay though, I am sure that you'll get used to it, I know I always do!

...In fact, the feeling I had when I scratched one of my watches' crystal on a door was much better than the one I had when a watchmaker took the initiative of polishing it a few weeks prior to the accident. I guess I'm just crazy!

Do you make all of your judgments based soley on price..?

Rags · 27 November 2012, 10:26 AM

I feel your pain. I hate scratches on any of my watches.

Gaijin · 27 November 2012, 10:27 AM

You can only be so careful before you stop enjoying wearing your watch. Relax and enjoy it and if you get a scratch here and there that is all part of it.
