JJ,

It looks like the watch is right out of the box and unworn. You must baby it to the extreme to keep it from being scratched eh?

Shall post some recent pics when I have the time.

It polishes out very easily

Since the Daytona arrived the Blue TT Sub goes to work and I wear the SD afterhours and weekends.A bit of a change around in wearing habits ..

i heard that if you polish the watch all the time you are actually destroying it. I think that the watch must be polished only during service time which is every 5-6 years

Yes, each time you polish your watch you're actually removing a small amount of metal. Therefore, it's recommended that you not polish your watch too frequently.

Light ,sparingly applied layer,soft cloth,light rub,rub clean = Watches that look like new !!

I have a better question!

Say, JJ? Are those centre links on the TT Sub gold plated?

Got this one on today (we have a party to go to tonight) and most likely it will stay where it is all weekend.

See, that's where you go wrong. Strap a TT Sub. to your wrist and it should never come off. What's this weekend only motif?

Thanks, Frostie....the gold links are not scratched at all...in fact, I've been extra careful with this watch and don't wear it as often as I do the white Exp-II.

Shall post some new pics when I can.
