Wear a different jacket or wear a different watch. This is a crazy thing to worry about.

I am one of those people who like to keep my things looking as new as possible for as long as possible. I know that eventually they'll be a scratch scuff mark something that will take it from that brand new look to a used look, the best thing for me about the Rolex watch stainless steel bracelet is if I wear the appropriate watch for the appropriate activity and it gets a mark on it I'm not talking about a ding a dent or a gouge I'm just talking about a scratch not real deep but even noticeable to the eye, there are a few things I can do to mitigate the damage and that's part of my enjoyment of owning a stainless steel Rolex trying to keep it looking like new without having to send it in for a service to get polished I use the Cape Cod polishing cloth which I have found Works excellently for those small areas, I will cut about a quarter of an inch square use my finger and rub the Mark or the scratch until it no longer shows it gives me satisfaction to know that I can bring it back to the like new look. I have a mark on another watch that I'm not going to be able to get it out and so I accept that Mark as a personal identification mark if I ever need to prove the watch is mine all I have to do is say where that Mark is and what it looks like nobody else knows but me.

Absolutely not. I plan to keep my watches and not resell them, a few scratched from use doesn't bother me.

To be honest, I won't wear a watch under a sleeve of any kind. I have learned this the hard way a few times early on in my watch collecting journey. It's just not worth the micro scratches.

Not at all. I collect scratches and marks on my watches. I like them marked up with my use.

It’s perhaps different in some jackets - the modern ones are covered in poppers. These sit on the inside of the cuff right where the watch does and make a horrible noise when just walking or moving normally without a jumper to soften it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I used to worry about cuff scratches until I got a Cartier Santos LOL. Your learn to accept scratches VERY quick with this watch.
