Hi fellas,

I know there are tonnes of threads of lads complaining how the polished parts of RO's and ROO's are 'scratch magnets' but I did not know it was that bad (although I own AP's :s)

Got a brand new ROO 42mm ss recently and I have been wearing very very carefully, no contact with anything etc, but there seems to be some 'hair lines' on the bezel - is it possible that this could have happened due to my clothing? I know I havent banged it anywhere etc.

AP's are so gorgeous but so fragile in this sense :s

Scratches on any watch is inevitable, once your wear it, it will come out no matter how careful you are, take it or never own any luxury watch

Yes sir !

Scratches will happen, especially on SS. Look at any old Rolex - not only that, the bezel tends to fade with time (which adds character).

If you are that concerned about scratches go for a ceramic bezel instead!

No big deal.....love them, wear them, scratch them and then............polish them!

Yes, on the RO it's not as high so seems fine. On a steel bezel ROO, hairlines seem to be unavoidable. Good way to spend $8K more for a ceramic bezel lol

I baby my watches and they still seem to get some wear, whether it is from clothing or hitting things

Three words: ceramic forged carbon

Don't listen to Mike or your bank account will suffer. Unfortunately, he is too right!

Nothing unusual about that--but as was stated and ceramic or nice forged carbon would solve that issue.
