Hello Mike,

yeah thats one bad thing about these kinds of watches, is the ruggedness of it. like your dads president, if you drop it, scratch it, etc. it hurts.

i wear my yachtmaster everyday, but i gotta take it off if im washing car, moving stuff, etc. one thing i and other rolex owners do is insure it.

depending on your insurance company, it can be purchased for as little as $50.00-$100.00 per year with no deductible, it covers theft, robbery, accidnets, etc. something you NEED on these things. :-)

Any Patek Phillipe owners out there?
