Datejust owner needs some advise..

Hi guys,

I've owned my Datejust for over 5 months now and I've recently noticed that there are marks on all 4 sides of the casing where the bracelet touches the case.

Can anybody shed some light on as to how this has happened ?

Many thanks

Brand new, bought in November last year. Only ever had links taken out to adjust the size of the bracelet but the bracelet itself has never been removed

Left side of 1st link has rub wear as well. This is a bit concerning if you ask me.

I think that's just the lighting , there's no marks on the link.

Brand new bought in November last year. Bracelet hasn't been removed as far as I'm aware I've only had links taken out to resize the bracelet twice.

It should not touch to scratch.
The last link appears untouched, perhaps it's from an outer source?
I had a similar experience on another part caused by the zipper of my bag.

Does the bracelet need to be removed in order for the watch to be resized ?

I noticed similar on mine, although not even close to being as bad as yours. The only thing I can think of is two potential situations: when the AD I purchased from sized the bracelet and when I brought it into another AD a few weeks later to have the EZ link pin changed to another position. My guess is the second AD used some type of clamp to hold the watch while changing and this is what caused it.

How selfish of them really . I guess the AD damaged it then..
