Do you treat your PP like you do your Rolex?
I personally don't.I guess it's just because the 5712 shows more wear compared to a Rolex.This is not to say that I don't wear it, but I am definitely more careful with it on.I also don't wear my 5712 when going for example hiking, or on nights with heavy booze, etc.Such occasions are perfect for a Rolex IMO.Honestly this is a reason why I am considered getting a PM Rolex instead of an AP RO. I feel the PM Rolex would definitely get much more wrist time.Something about Rolex makes me feel very care free. They go everywhere, and I am not worried about damage.How about you?

I have checked all of them with the same angle under the sunlight that I did on my Rolex. Is the hairline fine scratches on the crystal common thing on
