Is the ROO Diver more durable than a 15300?
Hi All,I've had a 15300 for around a year now and have had a lot of issues with the durability of the watch. I love the look of it, and am thinking about trading up to a ROO Diver, but are there extra measures to make sure it is durable in place? I know it has the same movement as the 15300/400 series.Or should I not expect any Royal Oak to be as durable as a Submariner?(Note, when I speak of durability I mean wearing it playing sports and having issues)Thanks!

Patek seal vs Geneva seal - Quality?
First off: I love my 5726 and so far have not had any faults that I have noticed or am aware of. However, like many other friends here on TRF, we have witnessed an increase of reported issues.Much has been said about the topic of QC at Patek and Mr. Stern's focus.Patek Philippe has stopped using the Geneva Seal and created their own Patek Philippe seal because they feel their watches surpass the quality processess of this collective.In light of the increased reported issues, one could think this not to be the case.The following thoughts popped into my head:What if PP was already aware of their slipping QC before the decision to stop using the Geneva Seal?Maybe the Geneva Seal organization was also aware of this and it could very well be that it wasnt Patek's choice to leave the Geneva Seal?With the increased production the QC appeared to be slipping at PP, ostensibly indicated by the increased reports of our fellow owners reporting here on TRFIn order to maintain and/or restore our con

scratch on Rolex glass (maybe) - what to do?
Hello all :) I just joined to ask for some honest advice...Today I took my Rolex watch to a jeweller shop that buys secondhand watches today as I'm thinking of selling it. I find it quite heavy on my wrist and I prefer to wear lighter watches.Well, they took it away to the back of the shop to inspect it, I was quite worried as I could not see what was happening to it... Anyway they came back with it and said there was a scratch on the glass.Actually at first they said there was a scratch on the dial... which scared me as the watch has never been opened since it was bought new (I am the original owner), so I know it can't have a scratch on the dial as it has never been touched inside since it left the Rolex factory... then he clarified it was a scratch on the glass. I am actually quite surprised because I thought sapphire glass is almost scratchproof and I don't own any diamonds that can scratch it.I can't see a scratch with my eye but admittedly I don't have a special magnifying glas
