My daily wear is a Sub.

It has small scratches at 6:00 on the crystal.

I don't plan to replace the crystal..

What about your watch?..

A call it character.

Laszlo · 9 February 2014, 11:50 AM

Mine are in pretty good shape at the moment. But I'm sure I'll have a mishap or two. It's just a matter of when.

If you want no marks, leave it in the safe....

franklin · 9 February 2014, 11:51 AM

I don't worry about minor flaws.

HL65 · 9 February 2014, 11:52 AM

Mine all in good shape but don't really care about minor scratches and normal wear...part of ownership. Just wear and enjoy them and that works for me.

kilyung · 9 February 2014, 12:02 PM

What flaws?

subtona · 9 February 2014, 12:02 PM

Still trying to be ok with my own flaws:)

jcd · 9 February 2014, 12:05 PM

I have a tiny chip in the crystal of mine. You can't see it. You can only feel it. I don't care when wearing it, but since I like to flip, it may be problematic down the road. Oh well, I'm not going to stop wearing it just to avoid a few bumps and bruises. I'm going to continue to enjoy wearing it as is.

They are what make your watch unique to you

Yes, I am.

masterserg · 9 February 2014, 12:36 PM

Hate them but can't avoid them.

cop414 · 9 February 2014, 12:40 PM

Minor scratches and swirlies on my clasp and bracelet, doesn't bother me. These are the things that make it mine.

X 3!

Definitely not flaws, but maybe wear & tear would be an appropriate analogy?!?!

couturegirl · 9 February 2014, 03:28 PM

You don't really have a choice :)

joe100 · 9 February 2014, 03:35 PM

The only flaw would be to not wear it!

HogwldFLTR · 9 February 2014, 03:35 PM

Mine's at RSC NY; I'm hoping for a clean return as it was clean going in.

sigguy · 9 February 2014, 04:04 PM

One advantage I discovered turning middle age ... the close vision goes and so one
don't see the scratches.

T. Ferguson · 9 February 2014, 04:06 PM

Of course I'm OK with them. If I wasn't I'd have them un-flawed.

Nothing wrong with any of mine that can't be taken care of at service time.

bktiger86 · 9 February 2014, 05:00 PM

A few scratches here and there. First scratch was definitely painful, but like they all say...it adds character :)

viper9669 · 9 February 2014, 06:53 PM

These little 'flaws' are unique to each and every Rolex watch owner, wear it :)
