So, I've just picked up a 15400 blue to keep my PP 5711 company and I absolutely love the watch - the design, the weight, the clasp, and the stunning blue dial.

Now, I'm not feint of heart, I wear my every Rolex I own with PCLs without fear of scratches (they happen to add character IMHO), but with the new RO I want to wear it as freely, but do fear scratches (more so than with the PCL Rolex lines) as the flat planes/edges of the watch are simply stunning.

In order to help me get over this silly fear of scratches, can you kindly post pics of your well-worn 15400's, 15300's, esteemed 15202's, and chronos to assuage my concerns.

I happen to come from the NO POLISH at any cost school of thought so your pictures will be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance - very happy to have joined the club!!

This thread will cause me a lot of pain. One of the last things I want to see is is these beautiful pieces of art all scratched to crap.

I saw this on the forum a long time ago.

Sorry I forgot who posted it so I can't credit the photo. If anyone remembers or if he's around thank you!

I would have to assume that his wife did that to his watch after she found out he was cheating on her.

exactly, I really wonder what the hell he did to that watch for it to be like that, won't ever beat a certain PP 5711 which was totally messed up, I mean the thing was used as a G-Shock as far as I'm concerned, which is a shame but hey everyone is free to use any watch as a beater, wether 100$ or 500K...

Much better. A luxury dress watch in pristine condition. Great picture too. Did Benlee take it?

Seriously what camera did you use? That shot really came out nice.

These were all taken with an iPhone 6 😄 yeah they have a benlee vibe

Lrlx · 13 May 2016, 10:57 PM

I found that the 15400 didn't show wear well. Easily chipped the bezel on mine.
