I might be losing my posting privileges here, but I decided to dabble with putting on "watch protection film" on my jumbo. Many of you are probably familiar with Paint Protection Film and Wrapping when it comes to car paint protection, but when IG began t...

Over the years I've learned to wear all Stainless watches, and your model in SS is wonderful, for everyday wear. I only wear my 18kt. pieces for dress up days and nights. Just some food for thought. Lovey watch for sure. No stickers - Please!

Unquestionably, this will be a lifetime piece for me. That being said, maybe I am hopeful to find a rationale to wear this model more frequently than other pieces (to think about depreciating the purchase over as many uses) but that extraordinary bracelet... 

Maybe consider a SS everyday "Beater"? IMHO an Omega SMP 2254.50 ticks all the boxes from being a bullet proof, excellent timekeeper, easy to read without being thick as a brick and most attractive. Just my 2Cs - again ;-)

I'll make sure nobody breathes around my watch as well. It might get a green patina.

… in some places, even before getting married 😁

If I were you, I'd take the "sheath" off and invite your exquisite piece to the world. The more scratches, the better! Be well!

Cheers, Peter

I was wondering where my sudden interest came with plastic wrap. I just visited my parents home and I realised how much of our furniture remains under plastic wrap...photos taken from the web below for fun. I didn't take any photos but who else had this e...  

The last time I saw those were growing up as a kid, visiting grandparents and their friend's homes.

You're just going to have to buy two! I admit that I suffer from the same phobia... We all want to retain that "new car smell" for as long as possible. My bracelets worry me the most, so I might be able to live with parts of the case unprotected... Howeve... 

But that would be too greedy and would take an allocation away from a deserving collector. My eyesight isn’t so great anymore, so maybe I try it out for now… Peter

A couple of months ago I bought a Deepsea Sea Dweller and since it is a large watch I thought it was bound to get bashed about. The thing is I like watches when they are new and pristine and when they are old and well worn in, but I don’t like the in betw... 

And I was afraid I would be the only one! Thanks for sharing your experience. I must say that when I first started in collecting, I did not have the economic means to minimize the overall wear and tear of my collection. Also, I had always assumed that “on... 

Then the remedy is remove and restick, unless the outcome really cheapens the look. But especially when there is sweater fabric or dust that sticks to the end, I recognize the folly of this exercise… Cheers Peter

But then again, I should not see scratches either

Perhaps what I may gain is a little peace of mind? In the end, I can’t see the stickers nor the scratches, but I know when I accidentally smash the watch on a wall or a door or scratch this on a seat belt… I Cheers Peter

That exquisite brushed metal looks too good to be ruined. Some of the stickers are misaligned and one is upside down. If the stickers are perfectly aligned and don't move/come off, I won't have a problem with them.

Don't want scratches get a G shock? Cant afford scratches? Cant afford the watch. Worst thing I have seen today.

It’s the only watch I’ve decided to try the stickers… No stickers… No stickers… No stickers… No stickers…. No stickers…. No stickers….. No stickers…. No stickers…. Got more!!! Cheers Peter ...  

No stickers, and she has diamonds... ...  

That is blasphemy on a RO!
