Hi all,

I have my new watch and very nervous about bumping the face or even scratching in the worst case, is there any protection like a screen protector for phone? I cant seem to find much on the internet.

any advice would be appreciated.

 

Seamaster 300 M already has "screen protection." Sapphire. My 17 year old model has a pretty beat up bezel, but the crystal has never been scratched.

 

The bracelet will take the biggest beating with the polished links
You would have to work pretty hard to scratch the sapphire crystal

 

If you're that concerned, there's a solution that's been employed by @Mad Dog and as a professional user (get it ) it suits him fine.

Just search for posts by him, he's got some great pics of the device in it's natural environment.

 

Here, I done it fur ya!

Just had the bezel and sapphire replaced on my 14yr old 300m. Bezel was £104 and sapphire was £30. I was expecting more. After 14 yrs neither were actually that bad. It was picked up whilst at service. Ready for another 14yrs wear!
Doubt you'll damage the sapphire to the point you can actually see it. Bezel maybe, clasp definitely.

 

Not what you want to hear, but I just noticed a scratch on the crystal of my Aqua Terra.

Never scratched a crystal before and after a month this one has a pretty decent scratch in it.

No clue how it happened either and I am not a happy camper.

 

Here's the protection I've found best when at work and the crappy iPhone picture doesn't even show the patina it's picking up.

Try using one of these and your seamaster will be spotless.

 

thanks to you all, i think after reading comments i will keep wearing as it is but on days where i think i better not i will put on my old rotary (i really like this make)

i am surprised that there is a screen protector for every mobile phone but not for watch that you just buy off an ebay

 

where do i buy it?

 

Your watch has a steel case and sapphire crystal protecting the movement, dial, and hands. If you're worried beyond that, protect it by buying a safe and storing it there 24 / 7 / 365.

sapphire is 9 on the Mohs scale, so you're reasonably safe.

 

i just thought i let people know that might be interested, i could only find one supplier for what i wanted and here it is http://shop.wonderguards.com/category.sc?categoryId=7

Watch Guard Clear Window - was my choice and its not bad, it wont protect watch from bumps but should do from scratches, its good enough for me working as an engineer my hands sometimes end up in all sorts of technology and places

 

out of the 3 watches in my rotation, my Omega SMP 300 Ceramic gets the least amount of wrist time due to my fear of scratching the AR coating
just sayin

 

Wear your watches!



If you simply must have protection, a paper bag over your head should do the trick.

 

seriously protection for your watch???

wear it and enjoy it

 

When I hear of people buying a tool watch and then are afraid to scratch it, I think of all the Jeeps I see with lift kits, huge tires and winches that never go off-roading... Get that watch dirty!

 

I feel the same way. What drives me crazy is when people are afaid to get a divers watch wet. [emoji15][emoji379] I suggest don't buy watches that one is afraid to use. Enjoy them, that's the reason you bought it in the first place.

 

I cant imagine buying a watch and then afraid to wear it.

I expect the tear and wear but I try minimise this when knowing that the job I am going to do next will mean my wrist most likely will come in contact with something that will scratch or scrape my watch. I don't want to leave my watch at home between Monday and Friday!
