What scratches?! All this talk of being a scratch magnet... sheesh, my 2yr old 15300 still looks like new despite regular wear. You guys must swing your arms around like gorillas!

:drooooollll:

benlee · 8 March 2013, 12:15 PM

Not even a single scratch? What?... you wrap yours in plastic shrink-wrap?

Yes, I don't agree it's a scratch magnet. Mine got a few hairline scratches on the bracelet already. But I have to squint and look really hard to find them so it's as good as being invisible.

. It's my Rolex DJ2 gold that's a scratch magnet.

T. Ferguson · 8 March 2013, 12:16 PM

No wonder you don't care about scratches - you don't get any!

kilyung · 8 March 2013, 12:20 PM

Oh I have the inevitable hairline here and there on the bracelet but case/bezel are clean. There's something to be said for slim case designs!

Hairdude1 · 8 March 2013, 12:35 PM

Awesome! Love the white dial!

orangedial · 8 March 2013, 12:43 PM

Nice and clean pictures gentlemen!

Mike, you have too many watches in rotation! And they are talking about 'daily beater'

My gorilla self says...

There's no need to worry about scratches, it's a part of the game (although I'm glad to read your watch seems to be pretty resistant to them)!

You guys take some of the best Royal Oak pictures. Keep me coming!

I shed a tear for my first. After that it was no looking back. Its survived college, hunting, scuba diving, and my everyday life. My favorite watch I've ever purchased after long time of saving- I will wear it an enjoy it. No safe queen.

Yes I wish it was LNIB, but such as life. I will send it for a polish when it gets water tested.

VICI · 8 March 2013, 01:57 PM

I have OCD. If its in a visible place, I'll have to change the piece ;)

iLLGT2 · 8 March 2013, 02:05 PM

All of my piece's are like your Mike, pretty much flawless..

For what I do daily, I never hit or bang it, scratch it, etc... just doesn't happen

Not complaining however hah

I have no clue how you do that. Even if your job was to fluff pillows....there are so many areas where you accidentally bump things, as a human, unless you aren't

Rolex Freak · 8 March 2013, 02:13 PM

Now that's one well taken care of watch. Well done.

AK797 · 8 March 2013, 02:17 PM

Glad to hear it Mike. I have a bunch of watches and rotate them so Im not used to scratches on the case and bezel either only on the bracelet and desk diving on the clasp. Glad to hear the scratches on the 300 are not compulsory, esp when Im considering the RG model too.

Lamkyle · 8 March 2013, 02:35 PM

Scratches are inevitable, the more u wear it delicately, the less fun u gonna get

Cru Jones · 8 March 2013, 04:14 PM

Gorgeous!

Not only is dial choice so very hard, but 15300 vs 15400 is tough, too.

How often does it get worn, though? Let's guess once very two weeks. Makes for 24 times a year, or 48 in total. So, for someone who plans on wearing it daily, your two-year old watch is equivalent to a six-week old one, scratches-wise.

All kidding aside, your solution of getting more watches is the answer!

Bigbadbns · 8 March 2013, 04:44 PM

Agreed! I've been wearing my RGRC daily and still looking great.

My 15300 probably gets more wrist time than any other AP, at least twice a week, but I'm a multiple watch/day guy. However at least 104 times a year or 28.5% of the year, it gets strapped on.

VICI · 8 March 2013, 09:41 PM

Did you guy use a calculator or just naturally inspired? ;)

orangejuicy · 8 March 2013, 10:04 PM

Oh sure, it's easy not to scratch your watch when you never leave TRF or TZ

Mike, I want to know which one of your watches has the most scratches and dings!

It's nice to see a well enjoyed AP.

You must really mean 'strap' on, and change it immediately.
