Violent Shirt Cuffs?

Anyone finding that a shirt cuff scratches the bezel on a SS Royal Oak? I am noticing a ton of hairline scratches--that almost look more like smudges that won't come out--on the 9 o'clock side of the polished part of the bezel on my 15202, while the rest of the bezel is clean.

At the end of the day, this is a daily wear for me and nothing is going to change that, but I am wondering where the hell these scratches are coming from if not my shirt cuff!!

SS ROs, including the Jumbo, are scratch magnets! That said, they remain beautiful in my eyes - mint or otherwise.

Is the lining on your shirt hard? (Sometimes an issue with cheaper shirts?)

More likely I think sometimes from those metal buttons on jeans...

Those cuffs will scruff precious metal bezels but I personally have not had issues with steel bezels. Of course you can get the “honey badger don’t care” - Ceramic bezel” :)

Even fine shirting can still mark the polished surfaces via other environmental debris that may be entrapped in the fibres during the course of the day.

Metal studs etc. will obviously speed that up dramatically
