"It doesn't feel like my watch any more."
My 12-year old son wears a mid-size Seiko divers, and as you'd expect it gets battered a bit. The crystal was scratched quite heavily, so I took the PolyWatch and after 5 minutes of polishing it looked great, the dial was actually visible! and there were only a few deep scratches left. And what does the little ******* say:
"It doesn't feel like MY watch any more. They were my scratches and I was used to looking at the dial through them."
So, does anyone here feel the same? Do you identify with a watch in this way?
Many people here seem to want their watch to stay immaculate for ever, but does anyone feel good about growing old together with a particular watch or do people rotate so much the question doesn't arise?

I like my daily beaters to remain the way they're
With the scratches & all. But not for my dress watches which I wear occasionally and usually to more formal events. Melvin
