I once saw a $420,000 platinum wrist minute repeater, I don’t remember the make. The watch was sold out of a store in our province because there is no sales tax, but the owner lived out of province. I heard that, several months later, he was fly fishing, and slipped on an algae covered rock. His watch was demolished! Crystal, dial, hands, and the arbors for the hands, The case was cosmetically damaged. How could that happen to a $420,000 watch, you might ask! It should be a lot tougher than a $5,000 SM 300! Wear anything beyond reasonable limits, and suffer the consequences. You don’t baby it, you said. You might want to take another look at how you wear it.
