how to avoid clasp getting scratched?

[Siddharth]

i am a software professional and have to use computer all the time. The clasp of my new rolex seem to scratch against the wrist wrest of my notebook computer. What I can do to avoid the clasp getting scratched? Can I do protective coating on the clasp or use some kind of shield on the wrist rest area of the notebook computer? Are there any computer professionals or laptop users on this forum that would like to share their solutions?

If you use tape, make sure it's acid free, also known as archival. You can get it from art stores.

And what if we get a secretary for all of us who does the typing ?

No more scratches !

[Kingair]

Here it is.

Fully scratch proof !

Maybe somethings we can sell in mass for Easter ;-)

I'd worry more about the laptop than the metal bracelet.

I wear long sleeved shirts which protect my watch. Minus that - I'm guessing one would get quite a few scratches. As long as they are superficial scratches, I wouldn't worry as they will 'buff right out.'

My PO clasp is shiny in one spot from my wrist resting on a desk or laptop keyboard palm rest. As another member mentioned, these are superficial and can be easily buffed out by hand. I have had great success with this so it is possible once every few months to restore the fresh look if it bothers you that much.

+1. The sctratches go away every 5 years when you take it for regular servicing. Enjoy it and forget about the scratches.

Hello..Mcfly..I thought I told you not to wear your watch as it is extremely fragile. HAHA..j/k man.

I desk drive all day long as well. Scratches, yup it's going to happen. Just enjoy. In fact, I roll my sleeves up and really get in there on my computer. As I type this right now while drinking my wine, I am banging my watch against the keyboard and laptop. Sorry, price you pay for owning a nice watch.

Scratches happen. Wear your watch. Don't let it wear you. It's just a watch. The the trouble some go through to keep from putting a few scratches on a watch amazes me. if I worried about any of my possessions that much I'd have an ulcer from using them.

A sweat band works great. Pull it off when your in a safe area

I'm also on my keyboard all day and even at night. The best solution is to let go. Watches will be scratched if worn. It's inevitable and the sooner you accept this fact the better.

I'm a computer guy too but I just don't sweat the scratches. I just enjoy the watch.

[king arthur]

A friend of my who has many rolexes doesn't remove some stickers including the one on the clasp. I said, jeez man enjoy your watch. He still doesn't listen.

helicopter tape works wonders

[topgear]

I just enjoy the watch.

[Kingair]

Maybe take it off when you work with your laptop ?

On my laptop I have a malware sticky plastic thingy.

[wrxsti]

get the invisi shield screen protector tha u use for your screen ipon your phone, or do like we all do wear and enjoy

[kymwatchlog]

don't think too much about it, pretend your watch is not there, and it will be ok...

[jolimont]

slap on a nato and keep your bezel protector on your watch at all times

desk diving can be a dangerous thing.

[horlogerie exquise]

How about changing wrist while you're working?
