Desk Diving Scratch Prevention

Skip the tape or bubble wrap. NATO works just fine.

those spring bars are pretty tight to the case right?! I got similar scuffing on a nato once on my submariner.

Nice SD4k, enjoy the NATO look, I always get bored of it pretty quick & gravitate back towards the bracelet.

Desk diving scratches are to be embraced!

Yes, but I wonder, isn't the SD4k's character gone?

Insanely tight, it definitely wasn't made to wear with NATO. I just do it for fun every now and then.

I never leave them on for long. Just like to switch it up sometimes.

Get off the desk and dwell in the sea like it was meant to. Let it fly, I mean swim.

Get a laptop and do your trades in a hot tub like all other self respecting Rolex owners.

Every ding is a moment in your life…believe it or not, if you’re lucky enough to keep your watch for 20+ years, the scratches/dings/marks become trophies and topics of conversation!

Just don’t do anything while you’re working. That’ll solve the problem.

I’ve never made it 24 hours with a new watch without picking up a scratch or swirl.

Stick a shipping label onto the area where your wrist goes back and forth on the laptop, done. NATO works too I guess.

This is true. However, the original Phoenix strap slides through easily.
