Any war stories of CG getting damaged or dinked ? Here is my casualty of war mark from work. Had to pull it off. Smooth out the dents the best I could.

I used 2500 grit and then 320 on a flat surface to get the brushed look back then two 4 inch passes to sort of smooth out the 320 grit to the original look. Not too bad. Just sucks I now have a mark and sourcing Noob Crown Guard is impossible.

Mine are the toolwatch kind submersibles so I don´t call it damage. Fascinating little design.
That cg-device makes the watch heavier on one side, so if it drops it will hit the floor/ the rock/ the marble with the cg first.
It´s o-shaped and open in the middle - it flexes somewhat. This will absorb quite a lot of the first impact and thus protect the
caseset and movement. Preventing the striping of the crown while being watertight is what it was designed for in the first place.
Dropwatch&toolwatch, mde to be used, , it´s so heavy it alreadyslipped& dropped twice - right on the cg-device.

It makes it unique, personalized, recognizable and "Your own" - watches need character and history:)
