Leave it as it is. Its a modern piece so a boutique will be able to give you one anytime you need it. More dings will come... Have a beer and enjoy it!
I plan to leave it. I was hoping other OF members would post pics of their first bashes and scratches.
Having it on an Velcro/Alcantara strap reduced bumping into stuff in my case to zero, the first month on the bracelet I scuffed it very easy. Or it could be I'm more careful now.
Has anyone put the SS on that cork strap? I look at the strap in the box and think that it doesn’t look strong enough to hold a 9k watch. It would have been great if the had put a NASA Velcro in that box instead
I did but I didn’t like it much. It was already bent so stayed in a funny shape. I can’t believe they included that in the set. Wouldn’t have hurt them to put a nice leather or nato in as they have for cheaper models - or a nasa Velcro as you say
I agree, it doesn't look nice when strapped (lengthwise) and for durability/comfort I went with the Nasa SPV1 from Gasgasbones which was only €40.
Hey I am left handed too, but wears my watches on the right , no scratches on mine mostly because it is a safe queen
Me and @MTROIS were at an OB last night and heard that there are still a few folks who have not received their 50th anniversary models yet. He just got his a few weeks ago...crazy, right?
my friend is now 6 months from booking , and has yet to receive his .. he is a patient man although his neck must be quite long from all this wait
I'm still waiting for the gold one. I think there have been some manufacturing delays but I'm assured it will come eventually.
Finally.... FINALLY!!!!!! The Best Speedmaster. First I was very skeptical (yeah: Buzz’s butt...), but once my AD called and I experienced the watch myself.... I am in Love!!!!
Congratulations! An amazing piece that screams "quality" on the wrist. Ignore the Buzz Butt drivel. It is an iconic image and strikes at the heart of what this piece is all about.
