Show me your “well used” Rolex
There are plenty of pics of pristine watches on here, but every now and then someone will post one that looks like it has been through the ringer with them, a true trusted friend. If you have such a wonderful piece, please post a pic for all to enjoy!

This 16610 has been on my wrist 90% of the time over the past 7 years. It’s beat up a bit, but operates perfectly.

That will buff right out with a Dremel.. Seriously, I think you would be shocked what Rikki at Time Care inc could return that watch in. He is a master at returning a factory finish.

One of the reasons why I use the Everest strap! Those PCL’s are so gorgeous I couldn’t let them develop such a “patina” such as your wife’s one. So PCL’s will come out on holiday and stay at home otherwise lol!

Scratches have been buffed out from time to time during servicing, but you can see the 30 years on my dad's wrist and 20 on mine in that first bracelet link.
