Does your Bluesy clasp get scratched up?

Do you do anything about it or call it character? I am referring to the gold part.

Yes it'll end up all marked up.. mine did.. unavoidable, enjoy! When you get it serviced in 9-10yrs, it'll come back like new.

I don't have a bluesy but I do have a black dialed TT sub and a few other watches and yes all my clasps are scratched and full of character.

I call it character. Makes the watch mine. The first ones are always the most painful but once you accumulate some more it all blends in.

Any clasp with a mirror polished gold center is going to get marked up. It is what it is.

I’ve had a couple and the clasps with the gold centerpiece do show scuffs, swirls and scratches easily.

My current one is the older, all SS, clasp and I’m glad for that.

All clasps get scratched up. Just part of the deal.

Yes, and the first one happened to be the deepest it happened on Christmas Day (was a gift from the wife the night before). I was loading up the car and something slipped. Oh well, know it’s one among many!

Yes, lots.
Part of a watch with polished links if regularly worn.

I have a few light ones but it's not too visible.
I try to be aware of my surroundings and when
I know I might be doing some desk diving I wear a
long sleeve shirt to cover up the clasp...

Yes mine is all jacked up. I thought about refinishing it, but then it will just get scratched next time I wear it, so got to the point I do not care.

There's not a Rolex made that won't get scratched if worn. The good news is that they will look like new following servicing providing no unfortunate accidents happen to them.
