Hey guys I have a new shape omega seamaster it's only 16 months old and the clasp has hit the bottom and top links so much so you can see the silver underneath should be a Matt silver is there something wrong with it or is this how it goes after time not happy has it was £3k cheers Sean

 

We can't think without big clear photos.

 

The first link from the clasp either side mate

 

Pictures?

 

Sounds perfectly normal to me. It's metal overlapping metal, how else do you expect it to behave? These links will mark over time on ANY metal bracelet. Seen it on all my steel and titanium bracelets from various manufacturers.

Pictures would help confirm this.

Either side of the clasp

 

Is that your watch or just random pictures off the internet?

We're going to need to see the actual damage on your watch to give you any opinions.

 

OK lads I will get an other pic of my watch and load it up here later on cheers

 

It is funny - Back in the day everyone was seeing UFO's, Aliens, Big foot, Nessie the Loch Ness monster, Yeti, Fairies, Pixies .... and then all the phones got digital cameras and then video in short order … and it all seemed to just stop / no confirmed picture sightings. Maybe like the Yeti some watches are just camera shy. Also like the Yeti they are much discussed... but seldom seen :0)

 

Obviously, Google and Apple's algorithms edit those out on behalf of the Trilateral Commission .

 

Sarcasm - lowest form of humour, highest form of wit.

Are you missing a twin?

 

Here's the links

 

I don’t see how the clasp caused those marks. I think it is more likely from how you rest your hand when you are sitting at a desk — those are typical wear/scratch marks from the something rubbing against the brushed finish. Pretty typical for marks like these to appear on the clasp and links near the clasp when “desk diving.”

 

I am not an office guy I am a car valeter but never wear it for work just seems odd to me that's all lads

 

Depending on the position of the clasp when worn on the wrist they could still be normal scuff marks from the inner middle of each end of the clasp. The clasp links on my X-33 titanium bracelet look worse and it's not even my daily wearer, although it has been many years since it has seen a full service.

All of my metal watch bracelets have this wear to various extents and patterns.

 

Ok cheers this is my first luxury watch that's all cheers for the info lads

 

No problem. Just be aware that this can occur any time two materials are constantly rubbing against each other regardless of price or brand. The softer material will give way, or if they're the same or similar, both will.

 

My Speedmaster bracelet has similar marks, it's the leading edge of the clasp rubbing against the links.

Mine is much worse, despite minimal wear.
