·Life is what happens when you think nothing is happening. Twenty years from now that scratch will be a great memory.
Have fun wear more than one.

I'm not saying this to be a smartass or in any negative way, as this is just an observation that always makes me laugh a bit: It seems a lot of watch enthusiasts talk about scratches, scrapes and bumps being later reminders of great memories and adventures. I guess I don't live an exciting enough life because just about every ding I've put on any watch I've ever owned was incurred not by some grand adventure but more like moments in careless stupidity I'd prefer to forget. I'm not trying to remember the 35 times I banged a watch on a doorway molding as I rounded a corner, or the time I knocked it against a metal handrail at a movie theater while carrying my popcorn, or when I got too animated about something on TV and threw my arm back into the wall behind me while forgetting I had a watch on. I'm not overly OCD, watches get scratched, etc., and it's not the end of the world for me. I'm just saying I don't own a single watch I can look at and say, oh there's that dent I put in the bezel when I fell down upon landing during that one particular skydiving episode, or maybe it was the time I crashed while leading the Indy 500 LOL
