Seems to be a couple of good pronounced scratches already in this pic. They don't look like whipe marks either.

Maybe take it back and have them finish the job?

The MACRO mode shot has made it look more pronounced. Honestly, you can't see anything with the naked eye!!

Thanks, buddy.....yes, this Rolex guy is very, very good. I even had him regulate it as it was gaining +2 seconds/day (way beyond my standards).

Checked this morning - he's now tuned it down to ZERO deviation!!

Looks amazing JJ. You need to get out your camera and take many more creative pictures before it gets any scratches form normal wear and tear. It is a beauty!

Those scratches were put on by the previous owner.

You'd be surprised how careful I can be with these babies!!

WOW JJ, it looks new again. Isn't it amazing how these watches can be brought back to life again. Your AD did a very nice job, it's great having a AD that can do this work and not have to deal with a RSC.

Actually, my AD is an AD-cum-RSC.

The entire ground floor space is confined to the showroom and display area, but the mezzanine floor has a fully equipped Rolex Service Centre.
