That'd be a good guess if I ever wore anything like that! Being in Florida the jacket comes out like, maybe twice a year.
I never even wear my sleeves down at work. Always rolled up...
Oh well...

This is another possibility
I dig in my man purse while it鈥檚 on my shoulder (I hate things in my pockets and a phone is not a fashion accessory) without opening the claps and just the rubbing against the seams and inner zippers and clasp can leave marks like that. Do it for years and it becomes very even.

The fact that a man purse made it into this thread makes me very happy.
What I鈥檓 more curious about is how I keep getting these!
Plastic/formica desktops these days will scratch the living hell out of stainess steel. I always use a Rubbermaid desk pad to protect the watch bracelets.
My man purse is an old camera bag I have used for years, looks unassuming- but will put the hurt on a watch if I go digging around carelessly.
And anyone can say what they want- my pants are falling down 馃槈
I hate 鈥榚m but they鈥檙e hard to avoid. The light, tiny hairline ones are usually from the spring bars. Even if you use tape it can happen.
Tonight, even before I read this, I saw a deep scratch on the back of a vintage Speedmaster lug right after i removed the bracelet. Did I cause that, or was it there before? Often, we can鈥檛 tell.
So I decided to do an experiment: I purposely and forcefully scratched the spring bar against the back of the lug. Hardly anything to see after. So the deep scratch? Yup, it was someone who slipped using the spring bar tool.
Makes me wonder if there鈥檚 any reason to try and polish them out. Considering how easy it is to just scratch it again, I鈥檓 not certain taking a polishing wheel on a dremel to a finely crafted watch is worth the risk of causing more damage.
Most seem to be comfortable with the idea that they鈥檙e common and unavoidable. But still carry a shared displeasure for.
It seems relatively normal for the owner to bugger up the lugs and say 'it is inevitable', but you wouldn't accept scratches on a new watch from an Omega boutique or dealer. Somehow Omega, and every other manufacturer, can put a bracelet or strap on without messing up the lugs.
