    Where? Can't see a scratch anywhere, even looking on the photo, so it can't be that bad...

    I enjoy the "Made in England" mid-20th century whimsical styling features found in the Smiths line. Quite a few of the styles are fun, even if the dials' manufacturing processes don't appear to age well.

    Had to put it away until I can source more bubble wrap.

    Will wear this beat-up Movado instead.
    One more scratch on it won't matter. :)

    I still can barely see anything --even with all your arrows, and even as we all know photos overemphasize the slightest flaws.
    Seems to me you're way over reacting…. :rolleyes: and should keep your original insert and not worry about it.
    As others have said in other threads about other watches -- a watch is meant to be worn. Get more scratches on it and then you won't care any more.

    You're so callous. :(

    I did enjoy drawing the arrows though, so there's that.

    Will take it sailing....


    EDITED due to request by OP.

    Man! After looking at @dougiedude's post for today I'm almost (and almost means not really but some) embarrassed to post my humble alarm watch, a J.P. Pingouin assembled Heyworth badged piece from around 1970:

    Only one I've ever seen. J.P. Pingouin must have been a shop that assembled watches spec'ed by various brands. I found a reference on Fratello to a Breitling with a Valjoux 72 with Pingouin's brand inside.
