List or name whatever ends up messing up your watch. For me it's ALWAYS DOOR HANDLES. Not when I use a door handle to open/close a door but more so walking past a door that's already open my watch will brush against the handle scratching it slightly!!!

Metal hand rails especially the ones on the left!

25% door handles, 75% door jambs/frames

Fuck door frames. Smacked my Tudor on a door frame, shit left multiple smudges on the bracelet.

[–] Tae-gun@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ooof. Yeah, door frames.

The aluminum top of the panel below the keyboard on my laptop scratches my clasps into oblivion.

Doors in general. Always hitting my watch when I'm opening/closing doors at work which is alot

I am taller than most, so door handles are not my enemy. My scratches have come from utilizing wrong tool for the job. Camping with an edifice. Working on truck wearing my Orient diver. So, I am my watche’s worst enemy.

Door jambs. Any machinery I am reaching my hand into or working on.

The metal clasp on my wife’s purse, or worse, her engagement ring. Waiting for the day that the diamond scratches the sapphire glass, but so far it’s only scratched bezels, case, etc…I keep forcing myself to walk to the right of her but it’s not always possible.

Washer and dryer. Never fails. Clang, clang.

You guys just all going around smashing your arms off things? Is this a watch issue or coordination issue?

[–] the9thsaboteur@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh man, the sink.

I dunno how, but any time I wash my hands or face during the day, I'm almost guaranteed to bash my watch off the sink. Each time it happens I cringe and die inside.

It happens so often that I've had to change my approach, slow everything down and become much more deliberate.

Seems I'll never learn

Watches on other people's wrists, especially in crowded places like airports, malls, clubs, concerts, games.

I use a drawstring bag to carry my water bottle and gear to the gym, and it ALWAYS gets caught on the chronograph buttons, next chronograph I buy will have flat buttons like the prx

[–] Feezbull@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I just discovered a scratch on the ceramic bezel of my watch quite recently. So….. no idea what the heck it hit! Ah well…

Need a sapphire bezel next it seems! Haha

[–] dodgycool_1973@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s me!

I have a tray on my shelf with my keys and coins etc in. I dump everything in there including my watches as I come home.

Self inflicted wounds are the worst :/

Desk/table with a horizontal bream very close the edge.

[–] RevolutionaryAd1621@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Because I wear quite big watches iv got used to moving my arm around door handles when I walk past them without even thinking about it but I have to say my watches worst enemy is by far my girlfriends jewelery / mobile phone

[–] stinx2001@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
