I’ve only had "nice" watches for a few months now. I’ve refused to keep them for special occasions, but instead rotate my three Omegas through daily service. I’ve been awaiting my first ding/scratch/scrape with mixed feelings.
So today it finally happened. And I smiled. The only thing I was a bit miffed about was that I wasn’t even wearing it. I had been wearing my Speedy all day while working in the garage and doing regular house chores. This afternoon a package of Dynamat that I’d been waiting for finally arrived. Time to line my Jeep. I wore the watch through about half the job then decided it would be wise to take it off and put it on a rug with a bunch of other stuff I had on the trunk of my other car. I grabbed an interior piece for the Jeep off of the car and knocked my Speedy to the concrete floor. It only suffered a hardly noticeable ding to the bezel. But it’s done.
How dumb that I only put it there to avoid damaging it. I’m only sad that my first battle scar doesn’t have a better story.
