Hi,

Having just put lots of annoying tiny scratches on the underside of my Datejust lugs while trying to change the bracelet, I'm wondering if, when Rolex do a service, the whole watch is polished so these will eventually be removed?

Thanks!

Yes, they will touch up everything (unless you ask them not to).

RSC will polish them out. On a side note, taping the lugs is a good practice. Even with a lot of practice and bracelets swaps under my belt, I tape every single time.

Thanks! I've replaced the Oyster bracelet and I'm not messing with it again!

You can brush the scratches out in a minute with a standard fiber pencil.

Yes, but why do you care about invisible scratches?

To better estimate Rolex's ability to remove your scratches, upload a picture so we can make a better determination. Light scratches - easy peasy. Deep gouges - not going away.

Apologies, I wasn't sure I'd be clever enough to post a pic. Not sure if they can be seen well, but none are particularly deep scratches (just annoying cause I had to mess with it!)

Thanks, you just made me laugh there!!!

A polishing by an RSC should get those out.

Underside? If you can’t see them, can’t imagine even thinking about them.
