Exactly, for instance when I buy/build a new mountain bike, it's not really my bike till after the first crash. Watches too, until you bang it against something it's just a shiny object, after some character is added it's your watch.

Ditto, my ROO and PAM 212 have spent so much time banging around in racecars...and they have the nicks to prove it. Whatever, its a watch...and its getting worn how I want to wear it lol. Love the Big Pilot!

Ok I'll start the worn/patina look out with my Pam 194. The GSD strap is starting to show good wear and discoloration, I've knocked off the 12 o'clock marker on the bezel and the "5" from the 45 before. This is the workhorse!! Im not too gentle with my watches so in hind sight it was a matter of time that the IWC got it knocks

lighting is a bit unforgiving, you wouldn't see it this badly under normal circumstances but here you go. the most vivid are the one at 9 oclock, which was 'acquired' in the 1st week, and another similar one (unclear in pics) is at 1 oclock.
the rest are hairline scratches and stuff like that
so yes i am very happy with the new AP ROO pricing
