Honestly no clue
Probably reaching into somewhere or putting kids into the shopping cart etc🤷♂️ actually not too noticeable as I took that on zoom. Just thought I often find the guards bulky or cumbersome... they serve a purpose🤣
Yes, I know those little surprise nicks that I occasionally discover.😤 Thankfully it was minor.
they offer simple protection we all know.
Years ago, while wind surfing, a falling mask hit right on the crown of my watch. There was no crown guard, water got into the watch.
It was an inexpensive quartz. A crown guard is there to protect but unlike airbags in cars, stay concealed.
As a watch geek, I often obsess over scratches and minor imperfections
Your comment is a great reminder that a Rolex (or other fine dive/sports watch) is designed to withstand punishment and protect what's inside -- the movement! As I say this, I can't help but remember those old Timex ads -- 'Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin'. In the days before smart phones, we needed our watches to tell the time.
Yup it can take it
My sub ND, speedy and rado captain Cook are my daily. Don't mind them getting some wear and tear. I don't abuse them at all, but day to day. My omega comes back this week. I didn't have them fix anything. Just service. Now my gold watches I tend to be more obsessive about but I don't wear them if I think I will be hitting my wrist on stuff. With small kids, it's hard to know what I'll be doing 🤣
