None of my APs are beaters to be honest. For that job, I have my Rolexes. And Omega

I think those look great and I see only superficial damage. They can be easily brought back to new by AP. Stuff should be enjoyed.

I'm waiting to get my AP Equation of Time to wear it as a beater so I can show my complete indifference to respecting a valuable timepiece.

My beaters are from Luminox, Seiko, and Citizen... Doesn't mean I don't wear the hell out of my APs I just don't abuse them.

Would have loved to see what the black RC bezel looked like before it was removed.

Ah yeah. Sorry, thought that was the 2014 ver for a sec...

So since you had it for 8 years, assuming you had done 1 service? Did they re-polish it then?

Can be brought back sure. Maybe 3-4 times can these be polished back to new. But with these scratches, I doubt that many. This is really ashame. Not sure how you can say these look great, let alone good.
