It will look brand new once you get it back from servicing. There is nothing worse than an over polished or bad polish on a rolex. Just leave the scratches and worry about it at service intervals.

Seriously, you'll get over it. Don't dwell on it. Like the first scratch/ ding on a new car.

Lol awesome.

Just watch the clasp. Scratches on the bracelet hurt your eyes. Whereas scratches on the clasp hurt your soul.

Couldn't have said it any better! Congratulations on a very fine watch!

Never polish!
The scratches are what make it yours. It is your bond with what one day will become and old friend. As you age, so shall your Rolex.

Don't worry about it!
I remember when I got my first Rolex i was the same though.
Wear, enjoy, let it mark up, the scratches will blend in, and nobody notices them anyway.
Just enjoy the watch trust me!

Wear in best health buddy.

Just stop wearing is and only take it out with white gloves on to look at now and again haha

I was the same way. You will get over it and then it's liberating because you can actually wear the bastard and feel no remorse. I have been hiking, skiing, camping, hunting ect with my Rolexes
