Gold daily and scratches
I forgot how easy gold scratches, little hairlines etc. I've been wearing my TT Sub almost daily since I got it. Need to wear my LVc, probably feels neglected LOL. gold watch owners, what do you do to keep your watches looking fresh- cape cod or just leave it alone? Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SD43 or SS Sky Dweller
I have the SD43. It's a great watch and I like it. Comfortable, durable and modern.Next month I have the chance to get a SS Sky Dweller but unfortunately finances won't allow both watches.I had the opportunity to try on the Sky Dweller recently and it has really caught my interest.I would be very happy with either - what would you choose?SD43?Sky Dweller?
