150th Anniversary Seamaster concern...

Don't get me wrong, I love the watch. But I thought I should point out the following:

I haven't worn the watch very many times, & when I have, it hasn't been too tough going. I have worn it to my office, or out to a party, but definitely no diving or hazardous duty! I planned to wear it today. I looked at the watch & noticed many "fuzzy" looking scratches on the white gold bezel, obviously caused by my shirt cuffs.

Now I must admit, this immediately has become an obstacle to my enjoyment of the watch! I decided not to wear it in fear of causing more damage. As we all know, this is not what a watch is for... NOT TO WEAR IT!

Has anyone else encountered this problem with this or any of the other Omega white old watches?

Thanks in advance,

Chuck A
