I was reading that AP RO can be a real scratch magnet. I'm wondering if the RO can handle 5-6 days a week of daily wear. Within reason of course, not going to be performing anything manual labor wise with it on my wrist. I know all watches will scratch. It's part of the experience and all that jazz... I still want to figure out how much scratches show on the 15400. I'm an AP newbie.

Comparing the RO to a Rolex datejust 41 (polished bezel, oyster bracelet). Does AP use softer steel? Is the finish of the AP easier to notice scratches?

What's your take?
