After finally getting My SS BF Daytona in early March i said that it would only be worn for special occasions.

I now wear it almost constantly!!!

Unfortunately this has lead to a few minor scratches (i wouldn't call them scratches more marks).

My friends think i'm Mad for wearing it all the time but i just say "whats the point of having it if i don't wear it"???

Just out of interest how often do i need to get it serviced in the real world and what are the costs of service????

Wear that motha OUT! Then 5-7 years later, have it serviced and it'll be new again.

diablojota · 5 May 2009, 05:07 AM

Servicing usually is recommended at about 5 years. Some will get more mileage than others. My Sub needed service after 5. But don't worry about the marks and scratches. Your watch will come back looking like you just bought it.

Wear it man! That's what it's for. What's the point of having a beautiful piece if you "save" it for special occasions? You only live once, and life is short!

theenemywithin · 5 May 2009, 05:27 AM

Thanks for the info. I needed that piece of mind!!!!

It is the best thing i have ever bought.

Can't wait to get a Milgauss!!!!!

I wear my 116520 during the week and my 116509 on the weekend. Vintage gets worn on special occasions.

If I don't wear them they usually get sold

The invoice I last saw from RUSA was close to $1100. Was just quoted $950 from an independent but Rolex trained watchmaker.

You let the same person who does your floors touch your watch? Brave man.

Just rinse it off with some warm water, mild soap and a toothbrush after such incidences. You won't have anything to worry about. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter!
