I have the same issue, I'm sending a 100 emails a day and it sounds horrible on my aluminum macpro. Long sits, Ive been removing it or wearing slightly higher on the wrist for shorter sprints between meetings.

Same here man. When I first bought my DeepSea I would put a cloth underneath my watch as I typed. Needless to say it looked ridiculous. I just let it go now...

Why worry about something that can be easily polished out?

+1. The sctratches go away every 5 years when you take it for regular servicing. Enjoy it and forget about the scratches.

Same issue with MBP; i cant stand the sound so i take off my watch while at laptop. I wear it everwhere else though - gym, lawncare, swimming etc

watchf · 5 April 2012, 11:10 PM

Rest your watch hand on a mouse pad while you are desk dving.

karmatp · 5 April 2012, 11:36 PM

That is what happens when you wear a watch, they get scratches.

If you use tape, make sure it's acid free, also known as archival. You can get it from art stores.

Kingair · 6 April 2012, 01:34 AM

And what if we get a secretary for all of us who does the typing ?

No more scratches !

Kingair · 6 April 2012, 01:45 AM

Here it is.

Fully scratch proof !

Maybe somethings we can sell in mass for Easter ;-)

Lmbeauleap · 6 April 2012, 01:46 AM

I'm a lefty and I wear the watch on the same hand so the 12 o'clock side of all my watch bracelets always get a bit scuffed up. Thought it would bother me more with my Rolex but it hasn't. I know it will buff out and it's easy to spot my watch.

I did avoid the PCL's because of this though. I went with the older GMT.

2ar2c1 · 6 April 2012, 01:50 AM

I put a piece of that zagg stuff on all my clasps and it works like a charm!

Sadly, it is inevitable. Please enjoy your watch...

nauticajoe · 6 April 2012, 08:25 AM

There's really no way to avoid those darn desk swirls. Look at it this way, it builds character, and when it's time for the spa, you'll have it looking good as new.

chazha · 6 April 2012, 08:27 AM

you should never have removed the factory stickers. that's what they're there for.

InTime · 6 April 2012, 10:07 AM

the first 2 weeks are the worst. then the scratches stop coming... well for me. crosses fingers...

gwozhog · 6 April 2012, 10:14 AM

Where is Jockes picture for the solution it to this problem.

swiss ghost · 6 April 2012, 10:20 AM

scratches happen. The clasp is prone to the most and at same time easily buffed out. Treat your Rolex like you would treat your Seiko*. Rolex is a heavyweight in durability. Wear your Rolex, dont worship it. Get that Rolex of the pedestal and put it on your wrist.

* Seiko makes some of the most durable watches on the planet

thlax · 6 April 2012, 12:29 PM

Proper ergonomics you should not be resting your wrists while typing or using mouse. You only wrest them on pauses. Then you wouldn't get scratches if you laid down a wrist gel wrest of sorts.

I don't do this. I know this though. I wear my DSSD as it is my tank for all situations.

rangoon · 6 April 2012, 01:22 PM

This might be your solution !!

rickyslam · 6 April 2012, 03:26 PM

I work at a desk a lot and type. I keep my wrists up when I do type. Other than that its pretty much inevitable. Good luck and enjoy.

George Ab · 6 April 2012, 03:28 PM

I use a second mouse pad, and lay it under my left hand. Easy, and work well.

mikkolopez · 6 April 2012, 05:40 PM

Only way to avoid scratches on your watch and clasp is not to wear them ... meaning scratches will be unavoidable when you wear your watches. For me i just wear my watches and enjoy them. At least when the watch goes for service, the scratches will buff out.
