Very nice to see an individual enjoying their watch, so many people are afraid of damage or judgment from others to wear their watch daily.

Such a beautiful watch, I hope the OP will continue to wear and enjoy it in good health!

I think Rolex, especially the sports line, look better once ‘worn in’.

That actually looks pretty good to me for 4.5 years of wearing. Besides that one little nick most the hairline scratches could easily buff out with a light polishing cloth, if you wanted too, although I’m sure you and myself including quite like the look of your watch as it is! Adds character

You´ve still got a long way to go young Yedi.

As someone stated earlier on this thread, at an arms length it still looks almost like new. So nothing to worry about.

This reminds me of a (surprising) photo in the Patek forum where a 5167A had been scratched to hell and it just looked utterly magnificent! I wish I could find that photo...

This Sub makes me feel similarly! Stunning.
