How delicate is the brushed finishing
I am obsessed with my 15202. I absolutely love it.
I'm curious from long-time owners how the finish holds up over time, specifically the brushed finish on the bezel. Under a light it almost has a metallic look to it. After years of shirt sleeves, hands, microfiber clothes, does it retain that awesome finish, or does it dull? |

I've had my 15202 for about 5 years now. I wear it about once or twice a week in rotation with other pieces. It is still mint because I am pretty careful with my watches. The low profile helps a lot. Get it, you won't regret it!

No where near 5 years but mint after 10 months in rotation. My 5711 got marked up easier. Could be coincidence.

it's ultra thin so much less prone to scratches than ROO's for example but like anything sure after time it will look a little used, if you're careful with it won't be anything awful, get it, cool watch

I do not own a 15202, however when I owned my 15300 I made sure I was aware of what could damage it as it does show wear easier

I'm careful with my watches also but fine scratches on the bracelet are impossible to avoid.

I find when I send watch to APSC to repolish the lines are not the same, much finer, therefore try not to repolish.
