Luckily it was worth it.

It will now always be a reminder of walking the bamboo forest in Maui with the family. Here is a picture from when we reached our destination. I will always remember the kids' reactions.

Cool pic!

tx02ag · 12 March 2013, 02:33 PM

One more.

Sucks doesn't it!!! Then we get over it....

Enjoy Maui!

LA_LEC · 12 March 2013, 04:20 PM

Have fun there!
Been a few years since I have been to Maui and I am dying to get back!
Great pics also!

The first scratch always stings a bit...adds character.

tx02ag · 12 March 2013, 05:56 PM

Thanks all. I appreciate the kind words. The memories made from the scratches definitely beat having it locked up back home. Started shopping for my 2nd tonight at Whaler's Village. It will probably be a DJ2 in about a year.

jackruff · 12 March 2013, 05:56 PM

Nice pics....

Clasp scratch not so bad .... first lug ding not so good as I did yesterday.... but hey i got over it in 10 minutes...... Use it... enjoy it........

Ouch. What happened?

Bangel · 12 March 2013, 06:24 PM

Nice way to get your maiden commemorative scratch! Great pictures too.

Now all you need to do is do what happened to mine: Get some more so they all blend in together so they're not so noticeable.

travisb · 12 March 2013, 06:34 PM

The first one can sting a bit, but good to get it out of the way early.

Looks beautiful out there. Enjoy!

AK797 · 12 March 2013, 08:49 PM

Scratches are like smells, they take you back.

+1 to all the above.

Jason,
Sorry to hear but it's bound to happen unless you leave it home all the time and what's the good in that? I've got a couple minor ones on mine already. Kinda bummed me out at first but then I look at some of the pics posted here of watches that guy's have worn for 20, 30 or 40 years as daily wearers and realize that each scratch is a memory. I guess I'm learning to embrace them somewhat.
I hope you had a great vacation, sounds like you did!

nauticajoe · 12 March 2013, 09:22 PM

Enjoy the trip! Don't worry, more scratches to come.....it'll look new when it's time to hit the spa.

SUBversive · 12 March 2013, 10:08 PM

Great watch. Was looking at one yesterday down at the AD. I've trained my eye not to see any scratches on my watches, but can't see your first one in the pic. You are lucky enough to have an awesome watch and to be in Hawaii with your family so just enjoy!

mjclark32 · 13 March 2013, 12:07 AM

Nice!
Scratches come and go, memories will last

Htab · 13 March 2013, 12:25 AM

At least it's a memory you will remember always. It's not like you banged it on the door handle going to the bathroom.

benlee · 13 March 2013, 12:29 AM

No sweat. All watches scratches eventually. Great if they also tell a tale or a reminder of a good memory.

dings on the other hand...

Scratches not too bad, scrapes and major dings... GRRRR

Congrats, a Submariner without some wear lines is like a book without any words.

SWISSAHOLICS · 13 March 2013, 02:44 AM

You just added history to your watch....good going!!

impalass · 13 March 2013, 02:49 AM

Double post for some reason.

yoon · 13 March 2013, 04:32 AM

looks happy :) very nice ! ;)

Darlinboy · 13 March 2013, 06:00 AM

Nice! I like your attitude about it.

I bought my Sub on vacation with the family, and acquired a ding and a few scratches on the same trip.

It has collected even more "personal patina" since then. And is better for it!

montpyt · 13 March 2013, 07:04 AM

It will be one of many....at least you have a good story and pictures to go along with it. Enjoy the watch!

Hey Jason you have a moll 1 inch to the left of the number 40 on your Bezel you may want to have checked. It looks irregular.

03cobraa · 13 March 2013, 07:23 AM

I feel for ya! I got my first scratch on my Subc about 2 months after I bought it new!
Just a memory now!
