Hi to everyone who loves watches, in particularly AP.
I have a question for you seasoned AP wearers. I recently purchased an ROC which I love and wear almost daily.
I like to wear it so it fits my wrist well with very little movement. However, the embossed Royal Oak centre rubs my skin and grazes it frequently. If I rub my fingers across the logo i realise that it is quite sharply stamped.
I was considering finding out from AP if a replacement caseback from a 15400 would or could be swapped.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Do you think I'm wasting my time?

Kind regards
Martin

I've never encountered that issue. Maybe just put a clear round sticker/tape over it?

Thanks Mike. A pretty obvious option I admit. Deep down it's probably a reaction to glassback-itus. I just miss drooling over quality watch movements!
I'll do the sticker option, annoying in a way. But, I think I shall see if a clear caseback is an option too.

I'm fairly certain AP won't offer an exhibition caseback option. You'd have to find someone to do a custom job. While I agree that it would be a fun addition, and I'd probably do it, I do find the steel caseback to be more comfortable (no grazing).
