Storage, yes, but if the inference is safe queen, couldn’t be further from the truth.

Should I return the favor from not long ago and also send you a PM with a thumbs down of my own?

Sorry to take your post wrong sir as there are many negative responses here. How did the installation of the bezel protector go? I thought that this was not even possible.

I'm not interested as scratches are not that obvious for the fluted bezel but rather curious.

I don’t use bezel protectors, just my preference not to. Just pointing out that the fluted bezel picks up scratches very easily.

Maybe some form of liquid application that hardens into a protective coat?

Why didn’t you just keep the factory stickers on and call it a day? Judging from the screen protector on my phone I can’t imagine how gross the edges are going to look in a month’s time.

You make a good rep but meh for me. Reminds me of grandma's sofa from the fifties and that wasn't enjoyable as this seems.

I wonder if the watch will age unevenly with all these stickers on?

Factory stickers were removed by the AD. These cover the area edge to edge especially for the case sides. As shown in the pictures, you can barely see that they are there. I showed these to my wife earlier this morning, and her initial reaction was that she would have never known if I didn't tell her.

Where are them pics of sofa wrapped in plastic or watch wrapped in bubble wrap? I saw lot of cars in Kuwait with plastic wrapped seats, very comfortable, not, and the cars beat up... But seriously, use G-shock for rough play and your nice watches for going out. These plastics will hold ton of bacteria in them.

Maybe some dirt marks or lines on the clasp a slight cleaning will remove.

The Zagg on the case sides is literally edge to edge. To come and think of it, the lugs may show more age compared to the covered sides.

I can't see the stickers in the photos, so I guess that's good.

These really wear well, if you're careful. I have had my DJ41 TT for 1.5 years, and it's been worn every day.

If it's just washed, it looks almost like the day I got it. Except for the clasp.

Thanks for sharing. Case sides rarely get scratches, I agree. The main reason I purchased this was for the clasp alone. For $10 more, might as well get the whole set.

If I were in your shoes, I would polish the scratches away with a jeweler's cloth and install these Zagg protectors.

True that.. I guess same concept as why do people install 3M Bras on hoods and bumpers, and glass protectors over the gorilla glass of our phones, etc.

My cousin who lives in Florida has a Ferrari 488 spider and the whole car is covered in clear bra and sits undriven in the garage with a car cover on it. The only time he uncovers it is to look at it while he walks around it with a feather duster. I guess he's just a keeper of the keys. I know, not a real comparison but made me think of that. I not knocking anyone for covering their PCL clasp but I'm over hairline scratches and I'm easy on mine anyway.

Thanks all for your input. As mentioned, after the honeymoon stage, I'll probably won't mind the normal wear and tear. As they say, one man's $100k watch is another's $5k watch.
