First one hurts the sweetest

made it almost 2 weeks. They say the first one is the sweetest but now I’m just ready to add a couple more to blend in I did buy the watch to wear and keep my rose gold day date prime as can be. But it’s almost a shame to knock up that beautiful finish

It took me awhile to find the “problem”.

Sorry you’re upset, but, wow, that’s minuscule (IMHO).

Oh yes. Definitely nothing to lose sleep over. Just the first one on such a perfectly finished timepiece

Gives it character. It's a watch. I mean are you not going to watch it and marvel at the engineering and beauty? That said, those first few dings are painful to see accumulating but the real question is why did you buy it? To wear or to sit in a safe? You will get over the dings and come to accept them as a reminder of a life well lived. Even though, most likely, you probably whacked it against a door frame. Blame the door frame. Won't detract from the beauty.

I bought it to get beat up for sure and if it ever gets unbearable to look at I’ll have it repaired but as of now it’s a warm memory of a night bowling with friends. Although for the life of me I do not remember hitting my wrist on anything and was pretty aware of my watch and surroundings up until the pout. I discovered it. It’s almost as if it just appeared

Still a beauty though.

Good words as long as you don´t want to sell it....then it is an unbelievablie damage and a massive loss in value for the prospective buyer

Funnily enough almost the exact same place I first marked my bezel on a padlock of all things.

After a couple more you just kind of forget about it.
