What scratches?! All this talk of being a scratch magnet... sheesh, my 2yr old 15300 still looks like new despite regular wear. You guys must swing your arms around like gorillas!

Not even a single scratch? What?... you wrap yours in plastic shrink-wrap?

Yes, I don't agree it's a scratch magnet. Mine got a few hairline scratches on the bracelet already. But I have to squint and look really hard to find them so it's as good as being invisible.

. It's my Rolex DJ2 gold that's a scratch magnet.

No wonder you don't care about scratches - you don't get any!

kilyung · 8 March 2013, 12:20 PM

Oh I have the inevitable hairline here and there on the bracelet but case/bezel are clean. There's something to be said for slim case designs!

Hairdude1 · 8 March 2013, 12:35 PM

Awesome! Love the white dial!

orangedial · 8 March 2013, 12:43 PM

Nice and clean pictures gentlemen!

Mike, you have too many watches in rotation! And they are talking about 'daily beater'

My gorilla self says...

There's no need to worry about scratches, it's a part of the game (although I'm glad to read your watch seems to be pretty resistant to them)!

You guys take some of the best Royal Oak pictures. Keep me coming!

Lookin god Mike! Love the way this AP looks.

thlax · 8 March 2013, 01:42 PM

I shed a tear for my first. After that it was no looking back. Its survived college, hunting, scuba diving, and my everyday life. My favorite watch I've ever purchased after long time of saving- I will wear it an enjoy it. No safe queen.

Yes I wish it was LNIB, but such as life. I will send it for a polish when it gets water tested.

Not at all

Speaking of AP in college...one of the reasons I love it is the AP draws a lot less attention than my DSSD did. I have only ever had 1 person in the wild notice my AP and that was when I was driving through DC, stopped at Georgetown Tobacoo for some birthday cigars for my buddy on the way down to UVA. One of the workers notice my watched and went "is that an AP ROO?!"....this resulted in a great conversation and exceptional service

agreed, i went through 2 dssds and they brought on too much attention, too many hey nice watch, what kind is it? a rolex, arent those like $50k?, no.

I just started saying its a dive watch. No one really says anything about my diver unless they are a wis. Heck i even said Ap a few times and people have said never heard of it, which makes me happy happy!

X2

I must admit, I love the fact that not many people know about AP, so it doesn't draw too much attention!

VICI · 8 March 2013, 01:57 PM

I have OCD. If its in a visible place, I'll have to change the piece ;)

iLLGT2 · 8 March 2013, 02:05 PM

All of my piece's are like your Mike, pretty much flawless..

For what I do daily, I never hit or bang it, scratch it, etc... just doesn't happen

Not complaining however hah

I have no clue how you do that. Even if your job was to fluff pillows....there are so many areas where you accidentally bump things, as a human, unless you aren't

Lol I don't have the answer? In just not careless or accident prone, again, I'm not complaining ha

I wear my watches well but they all still look new

Rolex Freak · 8 March 2013, 02:13 PM

Now that's one well taken care of watch. Well done.

AK797 · 8 March 2013, 02:17 PM

Glad to hear it Mike. I have a bunch of watches and rotate them so Im not used to scratches on the case and bezel either only on the bracelet and desk diving on the clasp. Glad to hear the scratches on the 300 are not compulsory, esp when Im considering the RG model too.

Lamkyle · 8 March 2013, 02:35 PM

Scratches are inevitable, the more u wear it delicately, the less fun u gonna get
