Your toughest watch picture

We see lots of pristine watch pictures, let's see some dirt, sweat, blood, scratches. etc. if you have a good story include it. I have a hemophiliac English bulldog that was cut and bleeding. Here is my Seamaster after bandaging him up.

I was thinking that it would be pretty nice to see some watches with mojo. I've seen some but none seem to want to post other that their best here. Let's see some, I agree.

Here's one with a minor combat wound (interaction between the bezel insert and the side of a pool while swimming laps).

This one. Almost 20 years of daily wear, including : military and civilian parachuting and SCUBA diving, mountaineering, hiking, skiing, deserts, jungles, Europe, Asia, Central America. Including some fairly unpleasant scenarios. Around 2002, I found out what it was and its dollar value. So I put it in the bank vault to pass on to my oldest son. It's been serviced by RSC once in 1996 and the crystal was replaced.

Awesome experiences for that watch -- and you But you really should be wearing it. After such a life in the field, that SD must be getting bored in the vault
