What stories it could tell I'm sure. Good on you for enjoying that beautiful thing.

Jason71 · 21 September 2018, 12:51 PM

It’s ruined and your resale value has taken a HUGE hit.

I think it looks FANTASTIC

Brian Page · 21 September 2018, 01:06 PM

Awesome! That's how it should look...

mmmmp · 21 September 2018, 02:06 PM

Well, it's a little severe for my taste, but frequent polishing is a fools game. Those light scratches are only visible close-up, which is no big deal anyway. My problem is I *like* looking at my watches close up, that's why it would bother me. That's also why I prefer stainless steel, fluted bezels and Julbilee bracelets. I probably have tons of scratches that are barely visible.

But, when all's said and done - watches are made to be worn and enjoyed. Clearly, you're enjoying it and that all that matters. Wear it in good health sir.

It´s worn in a rotation but very frequently.

When it needs a service I won´t have it polished.

When I´m working on a car or similar I don´t wear a watch at all. I also take it off while running.

mjrennie · 21 September 2018, 05:42 PM

I've had mine as a daily wear for 18 months. I decided to lightly Cape Cod it this week and it came up like new. Perhaps PM is easier to clean up? I don't mind scratches, I was just curious how good Cape Cod cloths are. They are brilliant. I love the watch, so much presence.

Rashid.bk · 21 September 2018, 06:23 PM

At arms length I'm sure it looks brand new. When the loop and light come out it's like the surface of the moon.

It has character and personality

Great looking watch. Glad you have used it as a daily.

Did the crown on the clasp fall off somehow? It seems to be missing

Flex368 · 21 September 2018, 09:28 PM

The clasp is open on the pic. Don´t worry, the crown is exactly where it belongs.

Still looks good, mate, altho if it looked like that when I bought mine I might not have.

RayShepherd · 22 September 2018, 05:58 AM

Scuff marks give a watch attitude if you ask me

T01 · 22 September 2018, 06:14 AM

Nice to see one actually being worn!

travisb · 22 September 2018, 06:21 AM

That watch has seen a lot of love!

roosvelt · 22 September 2018, 07:29 PM

Looks great, give me that watch with all the unpolished patina over a shiny polished one !!

Nice watch, and I'm glad to see that you're enjoying it

Mephist · 22 September 2018, 10:49 PM

If I where you, I would buy some Cape Cod polish, and polish away some of that PM, it will make it look almost new again

Rackness · 22 September 2018, 11:10 PM

Some hair line scratches, take it easy! did all the vibration effect the water resistance
