What a bizarre question...
Simon
Never really worried about the above with the 30 years I owned a Rolex 34-36mm datejust.
But recently I have been hankering after another Submariner.
Currently wear a 40mm Victorinox Maverick which is a similar size to a Sub.
Have to be really careful getting in and out of the car in case I take a chunk out of the interior.
Anyone else share my concerns?
No.
What a bizarre question...

How strange
Eh?
I wouldn’t worry about the interior, I’d be more concerned with the sharp lug cutting your face when you grab the seatbelt.
is it a very small car?
Panerai buckle could do some damages on steering wheel and painted surfaces inside.
The best way to avoid this problem is drive cars that are worth less than your watch.Originally Posted by Metalic Mud
Then the question is how much can the interior damage my watch!!
No. I have never worried about damaging my car's interior with my watch.
You are far more likely to damage the paint work around the door handle or the gearstick if you wear rings.
You are also more likely to damage the interior if you are a fat person.
So basically, be a skinny, single person and you'll be fine.
I always keep my good car in the garage and never take it out, that way it'll never get damaged. Plus it still has all the stickers on it.
Just use my beater car instead.
Did the dealer keep the warranty booklet?
I purchased a BMW which was generally immaculate except for lots and lots of tiny pit marks in the steel parts of the interior trim (centre console and door). Apparently the previous owner wore lots of heavy bracelet jewellery which was the cause.
What fresh hell is this?
I’m not fat and the car is a newish Volvo XC60.
So not a little car by any means.
But I look after everything I own. For however long I own it.
Given your concern, I assume you're using the Dukes of Hazzard technique.
Bmw s and heavy jewellery possible gold who would have thought

I totally wrote off my last McLaren due to the Ploprof putting a whole straight through the centre console and the carbon floor pan.
I only drive tanks these days, or wear a soft jelly Swatch, or if I feel adventurous and go out on foot, a full bubble suit!
It's just a matter of time...
Just stop doing the karate moves as you exit/enter the car and you should be ok.
F.T.F.A.
Serious question - how can you damage a car with a watch? And a Submariner is a small watch in the great scheme of things. I own an XC60 and wear a Casio frogman and various dive watches, never marked the Volvo

Never mind the car, I would be more worried about damaging my watch.
So. If you bang your watch in a car. Do you check the car or the watch first?
Neither
It's just a matter of time...
Worry not. Provided it is not a chocolate car, you will be fine.
company car was pretty much free comapred to the cost of a decent watch and swapped more frequently.
now cycle to work wearing a beater seiko
Has time jumped to the 1st of April?
I think you're going to fit in perfectly on TZ-UK.

THIS!!!
I think it’s not as big a problem as the medication
Shocked. Absolutely lost for words.
A Volvo?!
I am losing it, reading some of the replies!
OP- I don’t think a Sub will do any damage to your car interiors during normal use. You would really have to use it like a knuckle duster to scratch your car.

If you've that little control over your arms, is driving for you?
When I worked for BMW, a lot of trade ins had badly marked centre consoles, interior door trim panels etc.
Customers would always blame the missus and I never met a guy who kerbed his own alloy wheels either.
One of the most bizarre questions I’ve seen on TZ, can’t believe the OP’s serious.
To keep my car interior pristine ,when traveling I store my watch in my rectum . Try it !
Great question. I think it all depends on whether you’re wearing freshly laundered boxers or y-fronts.
It just keeps getting weirder and weirder
I wear long velvet gloves in the car- perfect protection for the interior from wedding ring and watch. I also change into pyjamas and slippers to avoid any metal on clothing scuffing the seats.
I do understand where OP is coming from tbh. Depending on nature of car's interior can ding / scratch / mark surfaces with metal watch bracelet / prominent lugs especially the thin metal trim finishes applied to some modern cars and mark prone vinyl surfaces, plus top of gearstick if has polished element, and when fastening / releasing seat belt. I marked Al polished elements on auto shift lever on an Audi with SD 16600 bracelet for eg. This scenario is taken to next level if carbon fibre present in cabin. Depends on cabin design ultimately and how careful / clumsy you are I guess.
Trouble is, you spend all your time fannying about worrying about keeping things perfect instead of enjoying them.
Then you die.
What's the most comfortable car to drive with a watch up your rectum?

I kerbed a wheel on the missus' car, about 2 weeks before we sold it.
To be fair, I paid for the car, I paid for the alloys, I paid for the tyres on the alloys and I took the hit when it got sold, but it was me that kerbed it.
Congratulations, you are the first guy to have admitted it!
Absolutely hate it when that happens.
Was that a whole hole?
Martyn.
Excellent!
Has Desmond Llewelyn modified your watch?
GuttedCongratulations, you are the first guy to have admitted it!
You are Dr Magnus Pyke and I claim my £5.
I feel for you.Gutted
Done it several times on my own car and company cars.
Nice thing about the Volvo.
Big fat tyres and rims that don’t sit proud.
My parking hasn’t improved over the last 4 years of ownership.
But I curb the tyre, not the wheel.
this had me going. I took out interior insurance with a GAP policy incase it got wrecked as a result of Hulk smashing the interior. Thank god I don’t have a Coke dial, how would I explain that to the police, lol
