The first scratch

[sgt10p]

I've scratched my watch after 6 weeks and I don't care! It's like having a new bike and worrying about who puts their bike against yours in case it gets marked.

Freedom in a way, but I always knew the watch would get marked as it wasn't bought for an investment.

Congrats?

Congrats on your first scratch! I could go head to head for a few years and probably have more scratches. The more you get, the less noticeable they are. Scratches don't really have much impact on the "bought for investment" aspect of a mass produced modern Rolex. Enjoy it and create more scratches.

Scratches mean the watch is alive and participating in the world. It's not a problem.

Wear it in good health.....

My precious Batgirl's first scratches. It hurts because I just got her back in January. I'm normally very careful with my watches, but I guess you can't be too careful when you're picking up an 8yr old and carrying her around because they're tired of walking.

Would not call than miniscule mark even a sratch,but all watches will get many scratches in it's wearing life on the wrist that's a plain fact.

Also time to remove the last stickers on the down side of the clasp? Or does it look like that?

[2001jesper]

Get it polished

True, sometimes a slight reflief to get that first nick

[Galevin]

Should be easy to remove but it’s just gonna get scratched again.

Part of the personalisation process

I don’t really count clasp scratches since it rubs on things all the time… pretty impressive that’s all you have after 6-weeks. Case scratches hurt for a few days. Hope you are enjoying the sub!

[prushkovez]

oh, please... since i bought my the only one (so far) 116710LN in november, i literally havent taken it off... and the bracelet is all scarred... and im happy with that... its like scars on the face of the warrior...

[bradyb]

It's a scuff not a scratch, ha.

[brandrea]

Atta boy Pete, you’ve christened your watch

[Mr. K]

Continue to wear and ENJOY your watch. Go on many adventures and create lots memories.

A ship at harbor is safe.....

Oh my gosh. Time for a new watch! ��

[JimSnyder]

It happens, It’s a watch it shows wear!

Scratched my sub TWICE on the polished parts the first day I wore it to work. 3 days after I got it. One is still visible but all the others lost in sea of swirls and hairline marks. I looked for it when I posted this and realized the leading edge (crown side) gets a lot more marks than the trailing edge. Which makes sense.

You'll get used to it.

The first of many and you do right by not being overly concerned about it

[travisb]

Refreshing take. Wear and enjoy!

[1William]

Such is ownership. Great watch.

All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade away…

A tear has been shed for each one of these.

Kidding. I daily my GMT Master ii and it’s my buddy and companion, through the thick and thin.

(It’s actually funny I hadn’t even thought about all the scratches on this watch until I read this thread.)

a clasp is and will get wear if you wear a watch.........In my mind no big deal
