Is it "stretching" or scratches that concerns you? Gold is softer than steel but you can use one daily for 20 years even if you treat it as a beater. It won't stay looking brand new, but it won't fall apart

I've seen one that was a daily for a few years. Definitely some scratching, but super not noticeable unless you're looking for it.

I daily all my watches. They literally never have one mark on them. You need to just be careful/mindful of what you are wearing. Take it off when you are going to do something that might damage it.
My omega which I don't give a sh** about what happens to it (aka the beater) has maybe some light scratching on the clasp, and that's it. When I see watches with tons of wear, it's because people are really abusing them. For instance I have a friend who works on his car while he wears his APs. |

Is your omega steel or gold? I wear my watch to the gym (cover it with a sweatband), i shower, swim, drive & run with my watches. Debating between this or DD40. I understand the DD40 will be a better daily beater but i just don't have the passion for rolex as i do with AP. |

If I lift anything up, I'm very careful not to hit my watch to anything. I'll say this for my hublot I did once accidentally bang it into a glass table, luckily nothing happened to it. When the 44RG comes, I'll wear it every day and we'll see what happens. Most likely won't scratch that either. |

Also, 44RG is on a rubber strap and has a ceramic bezel which is much harder to scratch. My concern is a gold bracelet on a RO |

Again, as long as you aren't careless don't worry about it. Just be mindful of it, that is all. If your are resting your arm on a non glass surface that could scratch it, don't rub your arm all back and forth on it when you move it.

Reason i ask if you have stainless or gold ROO is because they wear very differently. The gold ages much faster than a stainless weather you are careful or not. |

I had a white gold ROC that I wore daily for two years or so.
The watch is now with a friend, and it's 10 years old. He recently had it lightly polished and it looks like new. Bracelet is as tight as ever. Rolex has IMHO, a bigger problem with stretch and wear than AP has on their bracelets.

I feel the RO is prone to scratches than the DD as the DD's don't show the scratch as much as RO's. But then again I haven't seen a really worn RO Gold |
