Lol you had me there!

Maybe this could be the start of a silly picture thread. Wear your case protector in public?! :)

Even better, walk into your AD with it on to see what reaction you get!

I would also tape it down. Last thing you want is it falling off.

If you do scratch it for the first time, just regard it as a birth mark. I hope you don't scratch it though. You won't if you keep it in that paranoid protector haha.

And I thought I was bad using two mouse pads on my desk.
One for my mouse and one for my left wrist to avoid desk diving scratches on my clasp/bracelet :-)

It is amusing the lengths one sometimes goes to. My daughter caught me the other day rolling down my cuff over my watch after a few spots of rain, to keep it dry. As she pointed out, it was a 1500m WR rated SuperOcean (on rubber)...

Lol.. My left wrist is the most protected part of my body. I also developed a bend to it so that my watch clasp never touches the desk.

The Seawolf is a beast of a watch, and wants you to abuse it. I think it looks good once it starts getting some character, a few hairlines here and there. its bound to happen, its inevitable. Let it happen! :) ;)

Hahahaha. It now looks like the love child between breitling and g shock.

All jokes aside scratches do suck. But the light ones are easy to take care of with a cape cod cloth. You can search in here and there are quite a few before and after shots.

Big dings and chips would be what be the hard ones.

After servicing your watch will look brand new so just wear and enjoy.

I have to agree! Yes they cost a lot of money. However, we buy them to use them! The scratches will come out with a polish and look as good as new. Im still careful but my clasp is beat from the desk but no one looks at the clasp!!
