So, my eldest daughter sent me a picture of her watch today, just because she knew it would make me smile.
It's a lovely thought, but the picture is making me wince.
She's still delighted with it, but I know for a fact it was perfect when I gave it to her. It must be coming up for a service, so I think I'll ask her if I can just service it and never mention the hands. Am I being too precious?
Yes. If she loves it let her enjoy it.
Lucky girl.
Looks like it's been treated just like a watch should be! Good for her. I reckon it only looks bad in that close up picture.
NB: You should see what my wife's Rolex Laydy-DJ looks like !!!!!!
Let her enjoy it. And stop fussing.
THIN is the new BLACK
Well worn and loved!
On the assumption at you gave it to her to wear, not to put in a safe and look at occasionally, I shouldn’t worry too much. As long as it works well and she’s happy with it, it’s fulfilling its purpose.
What’s up with the hands, how can she have damaged them?
I gave my twin sons a Sinn 556i each for their 18th Birthday which was 3 years ago. One is still pristine and babied whereas one is bashed and white still appreciated, just worn without too much regard.
Each unto their own I suppose.
Well, is it nearly 10 o'clock, or nearly 11 o'clock?Originally Posted by Kingstepper
Im still trying to figure out whats wince-worthy?
The hour hand is out.
Hehe. "You" are the one getting fussy now. She only uses it as a bracelet, you know.

Merely curious really but are they identical? (The twins not the watches, before anyone uses it as a feed.)
Ahh yes, so it is!
God id been staring at that for ages wondering if it was the scuffs to the plexiglass or what
If my daughter sent me a similar photo, I’d be absolutely delighted. Given that she’s entirely driven by the latest, greatest ‘anything’ though, it will never happen, unless it’s to show off her newest purchase. Love her to bits but she’d be the first to admit she’s a bit materialistic.
Nice to see something being both loved and used though. The hour hand would wind me up (excuse the pun) no end too. I’d probably do exactly what you’re thinking of and offer to get the watch serviced for her. As a big Tudor fan, I think a little bit of tlc would go a long way.

What a lovely gift Matt.
Nice for a younger person to appreciate something like that.
Cheers,
Neil.
Ah yes, so they are.
It's a lovely gift to have given her. I imagine it'll become more and more precious to her as the years go on.
Good idea to offer to have it serviced for her without mentioning the hands at all. The hands obviously don't bother her, but no harm to keep the watch running well.
I’ve been trying to work out how the hand moved. The only thing I can think of is that she does kendo and has somehow knocked it really hard. Even then the hands must be a bit loose, which isn’t unheard of in a watch of that age. It’s a lovely picture though.
