Well, that Blusie has been loved. Don't worry about it. RSC can remove those scratches, and a new crown will be installed.

Congrats again on this classic Rolex!

Great Sub. It just needs a day at the Spa. You could leave it the way it is and you wont have to worry about scratchen it.

Steve,
That is a great watch that needs some TLC, my Blusey was looking a bit scratched up as well, Its an 1994 and I have never had it serviced. Got the call yesterday that it is ready to be picked up. Cant get there today , I will post pics next week after I pic it up.

I just bought a Burgeon abrasive bar #5444 medium. Does a great job on the satin areas. Looking forward to the "after" pictures.

I don't think it looks bad at all. Nothing that can't be fixed. Congrats on a beautiful watch!

sweet,it is wierd-I was never into gold untill a couple of years ago my fiancee' bought a very thick gold ring with actual pure ore inlay and a nugget in some quartz loadstone,and the color just captivated me.I would actually stare into it at dusk when the lighting was just right and it would tell me a story,of the earth and the molecules that make up our physical world.it is very beautiful and I can see why people would get gold fever.
now I search for the color in everything and want to posses as much as I can.
I am not weird am I?
