You guys need to be more careful. Look. Not a scratch. Sometimes I do hear a crackle or a pop though.
馃槺 that thing is demonic!

I'm not too bothered about it. I just assume any watch with a bracelet will show wear over time anyway where the bracelet interfaces with the lugs, and any watch with a leather or textile strap will need a change eventually when the strap wears out.

I'd get more bothered if I scratch links or mutilate screw heads when resizing a bracelet, but it's a necessary evil to get the practice in and get better at it (and get over it).

Edit: It would bother me to see a new watch that's been mishandled or someone showing no care or attention to detail, but it can still happen to the well intentioned.

What I'd actually care about is the habit it reveals.
