This is after about 5 months of ownership of my RO15400. I am already very careful when wearing it and it is not even my daily beater. Though I kind of expected it, but still...

Thankfully, no dings yet.

HKRolexFans · 16 June 2013, 02:44 PM

Can't avoid especially on the bracelet, but the scratches make you a unique watch of yourself, once done you will get use to it, still a great watch to enjoy

kevbm · 16 June 2013, 02:51 PM

It's all good, Ben! Just personalizing it

Gaijin · 16 June 2013, 03:06 PM

Can't be helped... Great watch!

Monte Cristo · 16 June 2013, 03:47 PM

Oh no, imagine what it's going to look like after 5years

alljunks · 16 June 2013, 04:25 PM

I have the same problem as well!!!!

Cru Jones · 16 June 2013, 04:37 PM

I don't know why, but, seeing these very minor scratches on the bracelet doesn't bother me at all. If the bezel were like this, it would be a different story, I think.

Soly20 · 16 June 2013, 05:03 PM

That's totally normal.

orangedial · 16 June 2013, 05:11 PM

Congrats on the personalization!

bayerische · 16 June 2013, 05:49 PM

Unavoidable in life... Taxes and scratches.

travisb · 16 June 2013, 07:25 PM

Comes with the territory.

Viv Savage · 16 June 2013, 08:29 PM

Never mind it's going to happen to any watch. But you've got an AP 15400, that's a wonderful watch. Be happy, it makes it YOUR own personal timepiece. Feel satisfied, you own unique AP.

benlee · 16 June 2013, 09:57 PM

Thanks guys. Come to think of it, since it is already scratched, might as well use it as a daily beater from now on.

GarageBMW · 16 June 2013, 10:20 PM

Scratches are part of the soul of the watch. The nice thing is the service at AP Clearwater will send you a new one next time you send your scratched one in ;) This is the nice thing of great service from AP.

Isn't that the wonderful thing about those scratches? Now your 15400 can be closer with you more than ever. Cherish that fantastic timepiece!

Lamkyle · 17 June 2013, 01:40 AM

Ben, mine has at least twice more scratches than u lol
I was pretty frustrated until one day i clicked like 'what the hell I do not wear a watch that control my movement, I control it'!!

Enjoy!

AK797 · 17 June 2013, 04:18 AM

This is APs way of making you stay loyal to your watch because soon you wont be able to sell it! lol!

masterserg · 17 June 2013, 06:34 AM

Doesn't look bad at all. Worst things happen to my face in 5 months :)

jvo300 · 17 June 2013, 07:16 AM

Just beware the dreaded bezel scratch!

ray0750 · 17 June 2013, 07:52 AM

Don't worry about it too much

Hairdude1 · 17 June 2013, 08:27 AM

It sucks but the band still looks great even with scratches

the best way is to just wear it, and polish it.

OR just buy a new bracelet after 4-5 years.

Andad · 17 June 2013, 06:14 PM

Isn't that the underside of the bracelet?

texex91 · 17 June 2013, 10:07 PM

Not bad for 5 months!

It's the front side. Just look at the bracelet beveled edge! Perfection!

mineral · 18 June 2013, 12:41 AM

It is ok since you are able to replace the bracelet later on.

alexlt730512 · 18 June 2013, 01:33 AM
