How obsessed are you with scratches and dings??

You are not an oddball at all for wanting to enjoy your watch collection, the way you want to ! For most, watches are meant to be worn, and as a result enjoyed. If they get a bit scratched up, then as you said that brings some lived in character to the watch. I try to keep my watches in good condition, but if they do get mugged by an out of control wall, or door knob, I can't get to worried. My watches are kind of inexpensive as well,but if I had your Planet Ocean that would probably be in a secret vault protected by alarms, lasers and even blow darts or boulders !! O.k. just kidding there, but seriously, you can enjoy your collection the way you see fit !!...when does the museum open ?

Dings and scratches are ok with me. It means you wear your watch and don't mind showing it.

Those of you freaks (yes you read that right) who obsess over these "laugh lines" are silly. Silly I tell ya.

While I try to be gentle with my watches, I don't freak over scratches on the cases, bracelets or even the mineral crystals. Watches are made to be worn. However, too much wear and tear is ugly, IMHO, and I would have the watch rehabbed. Otherwise, I wouldn't wear it. It's like driving a vintage car in two shades of primer.

"The Sniffer"... I don't want to know!!!

My take is if a ding or scratch happens, it happens...life goes on. Especially with my cars, I have two very nice cars and could care less if they get dings.

I am definitely obsessed with scratches or marks of any kind on watches.....................butt , that is just anal me.
