Ahh, I just spent an hour just looking at the face and wiping at it with microfiber cloth constantly just seeing little things that irked me... This has to stop, hahaha. I hope I get to a point where I'll just wipe it when it's casually noticeable, not inspecting like crazy noticeable... Hope that made sense.

I was out to dinner last Sat with the GF and future outlaws. We all had ribs. After cleaning my hands with the wet wipes, I opened a new one and cleaned my watch. Got some strange looks, but I'm used to it.

It does bother me if there are smudges on the crystal (and PCLs) but not dust...

Barstoolman you don't get it at all. We are just poking fun at ourselves and others by the comments we post. YOU KNOW LOL!!!

I'm with your girlfriend on this one Doc!!!!

One of the major gripes I have with Rolex, and why I sold all of mine off in favor of other brands. All the other brand watches I have had, that had AR coated crystals (whether inside only or both sides) I never had this issue. Ulysse Nardin, Panerai, IWC, Glashuette Origianal, Omega, etc..

I admit to wiping smudge & smears off.
And I even carry a soft cloth in m pocket, for that reason!!!!!!
My wife believes that I am mad. But I know that I am!!!!
