MAXI DIAL · 13 December 2007, 02:23 AM

Alcan · 13 December 2007, 03:15 AM

Not mine but pretty much scratched up, apparently from a motorcycle accident.

BuffaloRolex · 13 December 2007, 03:32 AM

Um, wow. That's an incredible pic, Al...

Had them pay a visit to the local beautician for a little nail work, eh??? I can just see them sitting in the chairs, getting a manicure... "So Alice, were you with JJ last night? He's hansome, isn't he!"

On your back or on your watch's back??

wantonebad · 13 December 2007, 05:17 AM

Bestiality, road rash, GEEZ!! Something tells me Velitsko was looking for a more pedestrian form of scratch...

Prince · 13 December 2007, 05:20 AM

Oh sorry, Velitsko. Couldn't resist the hijack. JJ and I haven't done that in a long time. I hope everyone is at least entertained!

Yes, I'm CERTAIN he was, Marc!

However, we never pass up an opportunity for a satisfying hijack around here.

Now back to Velitsko's regularly scheduled question...

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 December 2007, 08:45 AM

Here's the scratch on my SS Cos (made by the underside of the clasp leaning against the "Easy Link"):

Letsgodiving · 13 December 2007, 11:42 AM

You said watch not Rolex so here is my Seiko from my military days. It is scratched from one end to the other and as you can see it still has fair amount of FUNK. I need a close up to do it justice.

Leighton · 13 December 2007, 01:38 PM

Just a few little scratches after nearly a month of constant wear!

mullman · 13 December 2007, 10:47 PM

I have a few nasty ones on my 2 week old GMT-IIc already

I have worn brushed SS oyster bracelet models for 20 years. In the past, I annually took a scotch-brite pad followed by 0000 steel wool to the bracelet to give it a factory fresh brushed look.

The GMT-IIc is my second Rolex with the polished center links, but being a daily wearer I can see my watch looking like this real quick:

If this is the case then I might just brush the entire bracelet...

frostie · 13 December 2007, 10:52 PM

This pic makes me have second thoughts about the purchase of the GMT II C but scratches are inevitable so i guess that i am going to buy it

GR8YT · 13 December 2007, 11:09 PM

If there will be an Explorer IIc, I will sure buy it, but I hope it will not have the polished centre-links of the GMT IIc.

I believe that if we see any updates this year by rolex all of them are going to have maxi dial, ceramic bezels and polished center links for extra bling. IMHO i believe that rolex is changing a lot and we are in the middle of transition period

mullman · 14 December 2007, 12:00 AM

Q, if I brush my bracelet will Rolex consider it modified and refuse to service my watch in 5 years?

I am seriously considering brushing it out.
LOVE the ceramic bezel, triplock crown, bracelet is worlds better than my old GMT-II.
But two weeks in I can see I am going to scratch the hell out of the center links.

No, RSC won't as such refuse servicing your watch, but they will bring the bracelet back to its original state (i.e.: high-polished the centre links once again) at YOUR expense.

And polishing up a satined bracelet can be done, but would involve loss of material, and maybe the result even won't satisfy you.

I suggest you leave it be as it is.
