Post your pictures of normal SS bracelet wear

Please post your pictures of normal SS bracelet wear.

My definition - normal wear is that of a careful owner who treasures their watch in daily white collar use.

What difference in wear, if any, is there between post 2003 904L steel, and earlier bracelets?

To what extend can normal scratches be polished out? Can a traditional jeweler do this?

904L is the same the world over, otherwise it would be something different.

A typical jeweler wouldn't know 904L from 316L Stainless.

My question here is, does 904 l wear better in terms of scratching.

No. The composition is to retard case and case-back corrosion that was all too common in the less acid resistant 316 steel. It is also speculated that the higher nickel content produces a more distinctive sheen that Rolex prefers.
