This is a strange question but , i own a beautiful black dial 9 month old Omega Seamaster Quartz watch.

I hardly wear it purely for the fact that im scared to scratch it!

And would prefer if i had an older version ,worn/ auto quartz version pref black dial so i could wear it everyday .

I know this sounds like a strange question but if i wore a slightly worn version then id be less inclined to treat it with kid gloves.

If anyone could point me in the right direction , possibly someone who trades , exchanges or along those lines i would be so appreciative.

Dom H is probably the man to talk to.

Honestly though, just get it worn. I'd rather have a beaten up watch with a bunch of stories and memories attached to it than a pristine watch I never wore because it was too pretty. They're made to be worn, and you'll probably save yourself a fisting on depreciation too.

Plus, if you get it scuffed and want it back to pristine again a bit further down the line, unless it looks like it was dropped under a tank most stuff can be polished out inexpensively and easily. All of mine bar one or two have ended up taking a beating, and the ones I've wanted looking clean again always polished up well, despite being subjected to hell on ships, oil rigs and fumbling around various other heavy plant equipment.
