Not at all. Banged up my Sub ( ref. 16610 ) so many times that during the per-service list last year I specifically stated No Polish. Those scratches and dings are weirdly special, at least in this case.
It’s been in the daily rotation for 20 years and every mark is part of the watch now. IMO.
Good luck.
Received as a gift. Space watches became a chew toy after buying my first Speedy Moon in ‘96. This watch is a cool piece, fun. Very durable, not as allergic to moisure as a Speedy Moon, or an X-33.
The dial is detailed and keeps attention, while the crystal is a feature in its own way. Big but doesn’t bother on a 6 1/2 wrist because it was designed as a complete tool watch to NASA specs.
The story of Gen. Omar Bradley, then Chairman of the Bulova board, stating that an American watch should be the first on the moon. It wasn’t first of course, but did receive wrist time during Dave Scott’s 2nd EVA , August 2nd, 1971. He packed as a backup, a gift from Bulova, and was used when his Speedy ’popped’ its Hesalite crystal during the first EVA. Allegedly.
Later sold at a private auction for $1.3 m.
Pic of caseback below. Good experience.
