Re: Dent of the day. ( or scratch or scuff etc)
My C5 and C60, as pre-owned, arrived with dings. No major scuffs and such on my Sandstorm. Now, I’d show you my car but I can’t as it’s at the shop. A deer took out the front fender and driver’s door in a strike last week.

Re: Dent of the day. ( or scratch or scuff etc)
The larger horizontal scratch happened the first day I got the watch last winter. All the little desk dive scuffs came later, but the big scratch on day 1 helped me not worry about it so much!

March 2020, with Covid protocols starting I washed my hands more than ever, and accidentally banged my C65 against a sink faucet:

This appeared within 2 weeks of ownership. I had to seal myself in a dark room for a few hours to recover.

No idea how this mark got here. Tried to rub and scrub it away to no avail

Have you tried a pencil eraser on it?

Re: Dent of the day. ( or scratch or scuff etc)
After searching the house I discovered I don’t have any pencils and/or erasers
But it gave me the idea to try a magic eraser sponge, which actually knocked the visibility of the mark down by about 50%
I’m not too worried about marks on my watches, so I think I’ll call it good. Unless I come across a pencil eraser at some point. Thanks!

^^^^ If you've got 50% of the mark off so far, I'll say you have a sporting chance the other 50% will dissipate with normal wear.

My beater is covered in fine scratches as you can see but I took it to another level this week, there's a scratch on my palm that runs parallel but the bracelet got the worst of it. It's titanium so it should heal itself, right?
