Yeah but from my experience with other brands they always scratch first. I just got my first Rolex a month ago, and I'm curious how they hold up.

They will scratch if not looked after.. I had clasps that were like brand new. However they will scratch and will always get polished by RSC and be brand new again. Enjoy the watch and scratches are part of life.

It depends if they are PCL or non-PCL. PCL will show wear a bit more than the other. It depends what kind of life you lead. Most of mine have a little bit of swirls or desk driving marks.

No worries, as I often see the dial and not the clasp. Heck no one even notices what watch I am wearing let alone the clasp.

These swirls can be removed if needed it's not a life altering event.

If you wear a watch, it will get scratched and dinged eventually. You can't enjoy the watch if you don't wear it.

Scratches are inevitable on your watch when you wear it and use it.....just a fact of life. Don't worry and enjoy your watch!!!

I have no idea what the OP is asking, however, here are pictures of my clasp! Any scratches will not be noticed since they are hidden
