Small Scratch

[Topic]

I was just wondering if Rolex would buff out a really fine scratch, you cant see it unless you really get close and shine a light onto it but its there and i want it to be perfect(you know how it is). I live in NJ so i can just take a ride up to NYC to the Rolex building. Would they charge me the same amount as they do for full servicing or can they just take out that small scratch out for a less fee? Thanks

I have had little ones like that taken out on the spot, I was allways nice, and the watch was still under warranty!

Just don't overdo it with polishing. By polishing the watch all the time you are causing the metal to wear out.

You can do it yourself, just go to the Rolex Reference Page for a tutorial with Cape Cod cloth. Or just have any local AD do it. I think the trip to RSC is overkill.

Just leave it, you're gonna be left with nothing but a nub for a case. These watches are supposed to have scratches!!!!! Obviosly you just got it, let some time go and you won't be so freaked out, you will learn to like them.

Hi topic, just leave it be. and after 5 yrs, send it for a servicing and everything will be done nicely for your watch. fortunately, my SD does not attract scratches like some other brands of watches.

The Rolex Reference Page (referenced above) does in fact have a nice tutorial on using the Cape Cod cloth. I've never had good luck with one, but I'm probably doing something wrong. My LV had the brushed steel which was nice. With my new DJ I can already tell that the polished stainless steel all over the case is going to drive me nuts worrying about the scratches.

You're not an idiot, it's natural to feel this way at some point,especially if this is your first mechanical watch. But watches are tools, and using them as they are intended is doing a fine timepiece like a Rolex justice.

Wear it and enjoy it in good health!

Looks interesting, but I've never seen that pen before. Anyone else had any experience with that?

Agreed. You're not an idiot. Not all, but many of us obsess over the small scratches and things. These are nice watches and we want to keep them looking great. There's nothing wrong with getting small scratches buffed out. The only worry is that scratches are inevitable and if you do it for every single one each time you are in fact wearing away the metal. I'm not saying to not do it, but just keep that in mind.

Humm, maybe I should start a new thread on this pen.
