I just bought a new Super Avenger with the white baton dial and I have to say, Its an exquisite piece. I love the style and size. However, I purchased a Ocean Racer strap a day after receiving it, I was being way too cautious with the Pro II and pretty much right away started noticing small surface scratches. Am I being too paranoid about this? I just wanted some feedback from other polished ling owners and see what their opinions are. I like the option of changing the bands, and will probably order a black leather strap too.

If you don't want desk diving scratches on a bracelet, don't use a bracelet - they are inevitable.

I guess I just worry if they are noticeable. They are to me, idk I guess its not that big of a deal. I had the same issue with a two tone sub I gave to my brother. I loved it but the gold scratched easily and I found myself over analyzing it.

When ever my navi world gets a litte to scratched up I just drop it off at my local mayors jewlers. They are a authorized ling dealer and most of them have watchmakers in house. They will take the bracelet off give it a nice polish and steam clean. Usually do this every month or so as I wear mine on a daily basis. Between that and a sunshine cloth I don't really notice the scratches. If its your first fully polished watch it's just natural to be overly cautious, just relax and enjoy.

IMO, the SA looks best on the Pro II bracelet. I have my Crosswind Special on the Pilot bracelet, and honestly, only you will notice the desk dive swirls. I just let it go for a long while, and if I pick up a deeper scratch, I just polish it out with a Cape Cod cloth and it looks new again.

Nice looking bracelet! Ive read a lot about the Cape Cod cloth and need to pick some up. I guess there are a lot of people who swear by them. My fiance will appreciate her B&M looking shiny and new again. Thank you

They are great, but I like Sunshine more, they are less messy. :)

I have 5 super avengers All with pro2 bands, one of them I just put a breitling croc on it, the others I left alone, I polish myself every once in a while at my jewelry store, cape cod cloth works well also.

I put the pro II back on. The OR is nice, but doesn't do it justice. Ill keep it incase I ever send this one out for polishing.
