Christmas Rolex Exchange?????

So I have been thinking here.

I got the Rolex Milgauss GV (Green Crystal) 116400GV. Its case is so shiny (pollished). I have a pollished watch and it is scratched so much. I have only owned that on for a short while. I don't want this new watch to have alot of scratches considering its a Rolex.

So I still want something green. Should I exchange it for the Rolex Submariner 116610LV Green Ceramic bezel and Green Dial or be careful with the Milgauss and keep it?

*Note: I own the Rolex GMT-Master II C (116710LN)

If scratches are a bother, sounds like the Sub will get them, too. But that's a good option if you can make the exchange.

Since you own the GMTIIC you should be used to the scratches on the PCL....I would keep the MG....

Get the 116610LV Scratches do not show up easily on the brushed bracelet and case. Only the case an bracelet sides are polished.

Scratches the sign of a well-loved watch.

If you like it that much, you can brush the bracelet.

I know that's why I had the bracelet replaced after owning it for a few months. that and a couple of screws went loose.

If you are that worried about scratches I would suggest puting all your Rolex's in a safe and just wearing a Casio. (I am being sarcastic of course)
