If you think handing watches off to friends is dumb, try the vintage firearms hobby.
Beyond the grimy fingerprinting, beyond the careless dings, beyond the inconsiderate monkeying around with the actions or inane tweaking of the sights, one has to deal with the heedless disregard of safe gun handling practices ... and that's with fellow hobbyists who ought to know better!
Watches or firearms, I just don't lend or permit handling by nitwits.
So, I'm selfish. Sue me.
Your wish is my command.
It actually looks better in the pix than it is!
It gets regular baths in the ultrasonic ot get all the oil, grease and chemicals off of it, so at least it’s clean.
I’ve had to quite literally panel beat the clasp back into a workable shape more than once.
The watch consists of a whole lotta scratches, gouges, dings, dents and pitting holding hands to keep it together!
You can’t see any particular scratch as it itself is scratched, basically layer upon layer of scratches.
Now you know what Invictas are for.
I’m not sure I’d be able to overlook it.
