My DJ After 3 Years of Constant Wear :)

I've barely taken this beauty off in the last three years. It's been with me at work, on weekends, on vacations, swimming, snorkling, scuba diving, golfing and eveything else I get into! The battle scars bugged me at first but now they are character marks that remind me of the experiences that earned them ;)

Lets see the Rolex's that you wear and enjoy as they are meant to be!

David SW if you read this, thanks again my friend! I will purchase another from you someday soon!

Also, the more I see a fluted bezel, the more I like it.

Flukes are cool! Your watch looks amazing after 3 yrs. or constant 24-7 use! The PCL is remarkable!

Thanks! Certain angles show more of the scratches and swirls. I use a cape cod cloth on it every few months. Just gently to sparkle the PCLs up

See now that's cheating!

Every few months is overkill in my opinion, once a year is ok but why not gather a hoard and let Rolex sort it out on the next service

I guess it depends on how long you want to keep it but constant buffing is going to irreversibly wear the edges off everything. Especially don't buff the bezel too much or you'll transform it into a smooth/domed one in no time

Top marks for wearing it daily and enjoying it though, we see an awful lot of safe queens on the forums..

That's great advice Re: the clothe use. I don't go near the bezel and never plan to touch it. I'm pretty careful with it as I have seen what over polishing does to the clean lines of these beauties on our wrists ;)

A clasp shot to prove I actually wear it haha

The granite makes it hard to see but she is covered in swirls, scratches and small 'pits'.

My favorite mark is a cut in the fluted bezel which came from my dogs tooth as a puppy. I will see that for the rest of my life and think of her :)

Nice to hear of someone wearing their watch for a change. Marks add to the charm.

It's wild how the time flies isn't it! I still remember writing all those posts, complaining about how excited I was but had to wait 6 weeks for delivery

Here's a more glamorous shot from my wedding (watch was a year old here) just to show off the depth of the dial!

What size wrists do you have? This looks smaller than 41mm on your wrist. Looks great!

That's because it's the 36mm version not sure what my wrist size is but I'd say slight bigger then average if that means anything

That's what a plan to do! Still runs super precise and steady too. Couldn't be happier with her.
