Show us your DIRTY Rolex!
Well, guys!
We always see very nice pics of Rolex watches here, all shiny and new and polished! But let's face it! In everyday life, your Rolex watches do not look as neat as the pics tell, do they? So let's see the your Rolex "everyday beater" as it is, NOW, all smudged and with scratches!

Not exactly dirty but it's the best I have. There is some dirt under all the water trust me.
As far as scratches this one got my attention. The pics as usual don't do it justice. |

No, mine are also not "dirty", but normal everyday "smudge" etc. also counts.
Yeah, wearing them or taking them off shortly to photograph it. Just show some "quick and dirties", please! NO cheating! Show them as they are. Don't worry if the pics are not the best of quality! Here's my SS Daytona after 13 hours of office work (its first day at work, btw.). Taken just NOW:

Oops, I missed the NOW part. Here's one from 2 mins ago. Close enough. She still looks pretty damn good I must say. I didn't even wipe it on my shirt beforehand I promise.

Don't you go highjacking my thread, please!
But as a matter of fact, I DID wear it 13 hours today at work. So there!

Does this count?
Not a current pic but shows the 'love' after about 6 years of daily wear...

Here is my daily beater that is in the RSC getting a dial change. I wear it for everything, swimming, helping my brother train for the New York marathon, diving gardening, you name it is does it. It is a lot worse now and all my polished centre links and clasp have a few minor scratches.

Pic has gone, Peter.
Anyway, nice pics so far! Lovely to see those Rolex watches IN ACTION! Please post some more! Don't be shy and don't think about the pics being blurred or "non artistic"!

I enjoy seeing well worn and scratches Rolexes. If I want to see unscratches Rolex then I go to the AD to look at them. Character rules

Just a few scratches here, Bo. But it's only been a little less than a month of abuse!

Actually looks nice, Leighton!
I guess I shouldn't be so afraid of scratching those polished surfaces after all.
