How long does it take for you to get your first scratch on you rRollie?
Just wondering, how long does it take for you to get your first scratch on your rollie?
I'm too lazy to get off of my bum to post a pic, but I just found out that there's a scratch at the bottom of my bracelet today  . I bought my watch on the 13 June. That would be 52 days thereabouts. It's not easy considering the environment I worked in or that I even bother. non sedentary I move around alot. All day long sometimes for 8 hours straight. How long before you get your first scratch on your rollie? I know some people don't bother.

LOL! I usually pay a little extra and have the AD do it to take the pressure off!

I bought mine on June 28th. So far no scratches (knock on wood). I wear mine everyday but during the week I have on long sleeves. I try to be very careful without letting it take away from the fun of having and wearing it. I've just been lucky so far.
 When the first one does happen then look for me to be constantly on TRF because I'll need the emotional support.

scratch it and get it over with. Then never give it a second thought. Tool watches are supposed to be scratched. Ever see a hammer or a pair of pliers or a good pocket knife without a scratch?

It took me a little over a month to pick up some scratches on my bracelet, and a nick on my case. I throw one good party and my whole watch goes to hell.
