The fact that you have the ability to purchase and ding and scratch up a watch of this nature is an achievement in itself. Wear the watch and enjoy. I bought my first Rolex GMT master in 1986. After eight years in the Army and 10 years in various deployments overseas I retired it. Now it rides around on my daughters wrist. You should see what it looks like now. My point is enjoy it and don’t worry about it. Dings and light scratches happen.

What a story! I’m glad that watch was enjoyed and passed down to your daughter. Pinning this comment! Thanks for watching!

The cape cod is unnecessary in my opinion, especially for a Rolex. You said it yourself in the video, the scratches will happen over time and wear which is to be expected by anyone..I say as long as you don’t drop your Rolex on the ground or inflict any substantial damage to it to the point that you get a gouge in it, break the crystal or cause issues to the movement, leave it alone. Don’t worry about waiting for a certain amount of scratches and trying to tape it and polish it on your own. Send it into Rolex once every 10 years or whatever is recommended by Rolex for a service to the movement and if you so wish to have it polished, have it polished during the service BY Rolex. And honestly, I probably wouldn’t even get mine polished at all ever unless it was needed for some reason. Enjoy that thing man.

You’re right! The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I shouldn’t touch it and if anything Rolex can professionally polish it in service. Good points and thanks for watching!

Wearing it shouldn’t be stressful.

Scratches are part of the watch's history. Mine is all scratched up and some of these scratches bring back memories of things I've lived. Let it scratch. hehe 🥰

Polishing is a slippery slope. Go through the process of accepting the light wear and you will avoid impulsively doing damage to the watch with polishing etc. The worst Rolexes I've seen are the ones that the owner has polished until the beveled edges are worn smooth and rounded over.

no, it was my fault. I was planning on lightly polishing it at the time but then thought about it and decided against it to not mess it up myself. sorry about that!@@JOE-on4pi

I love a moderately scratched up luxury diver because it makes me feel like less of a bitch for Desiring and actually buying a watch that costs more than a year of work for many people in this world. It's kind of a douchebag thing to do even in my eyes but when I realized that I'm actually wearing it and using it every single day and it's getting somewhere until I feel a little better.

Appreciate the video quality, HDR and all. Better than many of the big channels. Also lovely Sub, that but regular with no-date is my dream watch. Still some years to go to be able to justify such purchase (and to get the AD to sell me one, that's another story lol)

Thank you, I appreciate that! I also love a no-date. To be honest, I never even set the date on this as I don't use it but this was the model that was offered to me so I didn't back down. I've wanted the sub for 10 years and finally pulled the trigger so I know exactly where your'e coming from. Good luck and thanks for watching!

🤫Honestly i think you’re worrying too much , it’s a tough watch . I bought a new one in the 70s wore it ten years or so , it was my only watch i drove big trucks did all sorts . Just wear it and be proud it’ll last !!
