Hi John,
Really sorry to hear your'e tale...I have a Monaco and frequently travel and I never wear it when I go anywhere as it used to be knocked and scratched & that persuaded me that enough was enough...in fact I've pretty much stopped wearing it alltogether!!!

Best
Steve

: so sorry to hear that John. It is an ongoing saga: you want to
: enjoy your vintage Heuer, but they are inherently fragile
: creatures. I am usually good about taking them off before I run
: around, cook, etc., but your incident is one of the more
: tragicomic I have heard. Good luck sourcing a new one.
