How bad is the durability of the AP RO really? Will she dent easy?

[tough]

Hey guys.
Yes it is this thread again.
I do apologize, however I really just want to get an idea on what I am getting myself into.
I actually don't mind scratches at all, especially knowing I will get the watch serviced every few years and have it polished, it doesn't bother me much.

Having said this, will the RO pick up scratches on the very least things though?
Also, if accidentally slamming a door, or a wall, can I expect a dent, and having to change the actual bezel?
Surely they can't be that fragile?
So many people questioning the durability is what makes me raise these questions.

I do appreciate all the help. Any response is appreciated!
Thanks guys

Yes they are scratch magnets but I wouldn't say it's any worse than a rolex or Patek. The reason why there are so many threads talking about RO durability is that the fine brushed polishing on the bezel is a thing of beauty and the slightest micro scratch or dent marks it up pretty bad. This is the same for Patek Nautilus watches as well. Rolex just seems to more "ok" with scratches given the finishing.

Definitely understand that.
The brushed finish will probably show the scratches more. Again, nothing that I can't live with honestly.
Wear till she's had enough, and take her to the spa.
Dent and scratch are two different things to me though.
Would the RO also get a proper dent if hits a wall or door? I mean a deep dent where the bezel's shape actually takes a hit.
Anyone have any experience here?

It's made of stainless steel and will dent like any other watch. I wore mine almost daily for close to two years and it only had minor scratches when I sold it.
