    I started to notice that the buckle is now gradually damaging my shirts sleeve. Anyone has the same problem?

    Its a little disappointing as I will have to now look for dress watch to wear to office with shirt. One of the selling points of the Seamaster Professional 300M Co-Axial and it's design that it goes well with anything and anywhere.

    I think I might miss it during the shirt days out :)

    Simple solution,when you wear the watch,don't wear a shirt go topless and just admire your SM 300.
    On a more serious note,I've never had that problem with any shirt or watch I have worn.

    Interesting, I have never seen any wear on the cuffs of my shirt that are caused by a watch. That said I do not have a Seamaster, rather I wear Speedmaster's

    I believe @ulackfocus can offer some recommendations for what ultra slim watch you should be wearing with those starched cuffs...:)

    I think you need to invest in some better quality shirts! ;)


    I’ve never had a cuff degrade because of a watch! :whistling:

    That's one solution. :thumbsup:

    That's another solution - and if you're spending the money, get them custom made. Shirt companies that are worth their salt ask if you need a "watch allowance" on either wrist so they make that cuff a little larger.

    Maybe Bond has this problem if he accidentally activates the circular saw bezel.

    Get the shirt polished when it's in for service

    The problem is obviously that you're not working hard enough ... roll your damn sleeves up and get to it!

    His solution is to yell at your watch? ::confused2::

    Come on fella, that's not the clasp or the bracelet at all, that's your favourite shirt screaming "RENEW ME.....RENEW ME".

    Shirts invariably cost less than watches, but if you really can't handle responsibility I suggest you go out and buy either an Aqua Terra or a 100% polymer product from Swatch!

    And stop boiling your cotton shirts!!

    Are the shirts all cotton or some blend?

    Have fun

    This was my thinking as well. I see this as a shirt problem not a watch problem.

    I had that problem on some of my shirts. It's because the watch can't slide easily underneath the cuff and the buckle release is getting caught on the sleeve. You have 3 options.
    1. Wear a slimmer watch
    2. Change to a leather strap
    3. Get bespoke shirts and have the cuffs sized to allow for the watch to easily slide underneath your cuff.
