Rolex Scars and Dings Reality
A lot of Rolex owners are proud of the real life use their Rolex has seen. Some are in shock when they get their first major scar. If you have a Rolex that has taken a hit please share it.

Too many to count. It’s a watch, not a priceless artifact. Own it, use it, enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don't have a good pic but my first battle wound on my 116713 came in 2011 when I was leaving a friends chalet in Thyon, Swizerland and I was changing an elderly german couples tire in the snow when the wrench slipped and scratched the bracelet. They gave me a great case of wine as a thank you and I wear the scratch with pride!

It's holding up great! I just had my 116710 serviced at the 5 year mark. I wore it more or less daily and the bracelet center links looked both brushed and polished depending on how far away the viewer was. It cam back from service sparkling new and I have to admit I missed all the brushing I had done in the previous five years.

My new to me Sub is luckily still ding free, but I’ve only had it a month. All of my other watches have at least few marks. I just can’t seem to wear them gently enough.

The first scratch was the best one. Is that strange? Feels like it’s mine.
