Well i am a proud owner for a new 114060 black sub purchased from an AD
I have been putting it on my wrist since i bought it, last week i have found a scratch on the crystal. I am attaching a picture for display.
So i dunno but i am actually having doubts about the authenticity of the watch since everybody is saying that it is scratch resistant.
1. Although i bought it from an authorised dealer in Egypt that i made sure that it is there on the Rolex website and with the papers and they did the activation infront of me and wrote my name on the card.
2. Considering that i bought it 4 months ago what shall i do about that scratch?

Scratch resistant does not mean impervious. Sapphire can, and does, scratch if the foreign substance is hard enough.

If you have scratched it there isn't much you can do. Sometimes very small scratches can be polished out with the right compound. Deep scratches would require a replacement.

I don't see a reason to suspect authenticity unless Dealers where you bought it from are dishonest.

First, do not worry about authenticity if you really purchased from an AD. Second, unfortunately scratches happen, even on seemingly impervious sapphire crystals. Just part of buying and wearing.

I've scratched more than one. Depending on location I might just live with it.
