No matter how...

...I try to avoid scratches on my clasp, I already have made at least 20 (!!) small, but visible scratches! And I´ve worn my watch for only two weeks!
I am *very* cautious about my watch, but it seems even when typing on computer makes these scratches.
It seems, that more you are careful/concerned about your watch, more scratches and accidents will occur. :(

Also today, I was just leaning back at my sofa and liftet up my arm to correct my hair (new hair cut!), and then I accidently bumped the bezel (probably also the sapphire glass, since it is elevated) against the wall. Beautiful.
Nothing on the glass, but the I just made a small scratch on the bezel!
Yes, I know scratches etc must happen sooner or later, but it is still little depressing.
Save my day...

btw, I think I saw some figures in this site, telling how much stress SMP can handle. But to interprete this in real life, how much stress can the watch stand?

Rgds, Keo
