Re: will scotch tape hurt or help my smp?

: Its only a watch. It is to be enjoyed, not
: worshipped. Who are you saving it for, the
: next owner?

: The only way to avoid damage to your watch is o
: lock it away in you safe deposit box and
: even thats not a guarantee.

: The scotch tape is very thin and provides
: little protection from that which would
: scratch the bezel anyway. Aside from the
: fact that the tape could take the paint off.

I know what you mean (my new speedmaster is 9 weeks now)...It hurts scratching the watch. No mather what others say! But I also agree with Lex. In the end your watch will have scratches! Get used to it. It's a little process you have to go through, but eventualy wearing your watch will become a joy! Even with the scratches.

ps. The process of getting used to it (that's the point where it hurts) will pass you by. You don't have to do anything, just wearing the watch....Isn't that a relief :) :)

greetz,

Erik
