It gets scuffed just by touching the flat surfaces. I think it's hard coated aluminum. It's harder than the 904L, that's for sure.

I put some Glad Press 'n Seal on the left front corner of the computer and it helps prevent scuffs. No real bad scratches, these scuffs will be removed easily on the first service in 10 years.

The few dings are really from momentary lapses in care on my part. It's impossible to avoid, so I've resigned myself to them, like door dings on my car.

Today I fell down some stairs onto my concrete garage floor. Subconsciously I protected my watch, I guess, only my skin got scratched up. Thank goodness!

Because I'm a good guy and feel bad for you I'll take it off your hands for $100 so it's not a total loss for you. (-;

Watch + Wear = Blemishes
It really is that simple. Rolex are built like tanks, tough as nails. After service your watch will look new again. Until more wear......

If you want metal things that do not scratch easily, get them made for you out of tungsten. Otherwise, enjoy your scratches :-)
