Are you okay with your Rolex flaws?
My daily wear is a Sub.
It has small scratches at 6:00 on the crystal. I don't plan to replace the crystal.. What about your watch?.. |

Mine are in pretty good shape at the moment. But I'm sure I'll have a mishap or two. It's just a matter of when.

Mine all in good shape but don't really care about minor scratches and normal wear...part of ownership. Just wear and enjoy them and that works for me.

I have a tiny chip in the crystal of mine. You can't see it. You can only feel it. I don't care when wearing it, but since I like to flip, it may be problematic down the road. Oh well, I'm not going to stop wearing it just to avoid a few bumps and bruises. I'm going to continue to enjoy wearing it as is.

Minor scratches and swirlies on my clasp and bracelet, doesn't bother me. These are the things that make it mine.

X 3!
Definitely not flaws, but maybe wear & tear would be an appropriate analogy?!?!

The only flaw would be to not wear it!

Mine's at RSC NY; I'm hoping for a clean return as it was clean going in.

One advantage I discovered turning middle age ... the close vision goes and so one
don't see the scratches. |

Of course I'm OK with them. If I wasn't I'd have them un-flawed.
Nothing wrong with any of mine that can't be taken care of at service time.

A few scratches here and there. First scratch was definitely painful, but like they all say...it adds character :)
