Good morning TRFers. For all of you that own watches with everose, can you enlighten me on how scratch resistant (or not) everose is? I just purchased the new CHNR with the two-tone bracelet. I don't like to baby my watches as they are meant to be worn, but I just want to understand if I can expect scratches to be much more apparent than the steel. Much appreciated!

Gold is gold no matter the name, and gold being a softer metal it will scratch more easy than SS.

Ever-rose just refers to the colour's sustainability, as for scratches it marks up like any other gold and quite frankly 90% the same as SS in my experience, so really makes no difference.

Maybe a little more obvious, but nothing to be overly worried about.

I don't notice any difference between steel PCL or Gold PCL

That is so true, Neil.

After a year or so of wear, there is practically no difference between the appearance and wear of my PM pieces to their steel counterparts. So...I've never really gotten the "scratch mania" that seems to exist on this forum about PM.

What really makes the difference is the wearing habits of the owner.

Softer to scratch, but easier to polish out than 904L steel. Wear it like a sports watch and enjoy.

I have a yellow gold DayDate that I wear daily. It’s more than 25 years old. I have several steel Rolex as well.

I think the steel watches show scratches far more than my DayDate.

Well... could describe hardness factors scientifically, but that's boring. Everose is durable, yet not as much as Rolex SS. You'll be fine, a few scratches here are there is normal for those who love their timepieces :)

Everose is the sustained luster of Rolex's rose gold. Normal rose gold develops a thin layer of oxidation on the surface after many years. So in the end, gold is gold.

Indeed Larry, the number of times I've banged my watch and it has made a mark on my PM but not on my SS is miniscule.

Not much more to worry about in a TT watch. The case itself and the outside of the links are all steel. Hairlines on PM are not as bad looking as you would think, especially PM with color.
