Ageing vs always young
I am just curious to see how other watch enthusiasts view watch wear.
Personally I really enjoy wearing my watch, like wear it all the time - working out, jogging, shower, swimming, working, sauna, sleeping, biking, hiking, whatever it is, I always have my watch on me. I truly enjoy seeing it age, I like to see wear and tear on it. I think it gives it more life, originality in a way (although there are thousands out there the same, but still not the same), it makes it personal to me and my experiences, my way of life. That's why I am mainly attracted by tool watches. This is how I came to own a Damasko DC67 Si and a Tudor Black Bay Steele. This brings me to the wholr point of this post - the tudor scratches quite easily but is still tough - the damasko looks like new after 2+ years and I am sure it will be the same after 10 years. Below some photos of both. What do you like? Scratch resistant watches and that will look like new for a long time or watches that will age with you? Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk |

I am a little of both. Vintage pieces I love the patina, so no touching and no polish. Modern watches do not really patina, so I am more likely to put the bergeon block to a bracelet and keep it looking clean. But by no means do I care about scratches or where I wear my modern watches. Similar to you I wear them everywhere and for everything.
