Full coverage

The Rolex GMT-Master II “Batman” in Oystersteel is one of the most recognisable travel watches in the world. Its ceramic bezel shrugs off scratches, but the polished centre links of the bracelet pick up desk-diving scuffs and hairlines almost immediately.

A local client wanted to wear it every day without spoiling it, and needed it back on their wrist quickly.

The challenge

What made this watch demanding.

  • Polished centre links

    Mirror-polished steel shows any trapped dust or air under the film, so the fit has to be spotless and perfectly aligned.

  • The bezel edge

    The ceramic insert is tough, but the steel edge of the rotating bezel needs careful coverage against knocks from the side.

  • A quick turnaround

    Keeping the wait short, while still checking every edge of the clasp for lifting.

The solution

How we protected it.

Using film cut from our templates for the 40 mm GMT-Master II case, we protected the watch in one streamlined session. The high-gloss film matches the factory sheen of the steel while staying invisible.

Surfaces covered

  • The polished case sides and lugs
  • The rotating bezel edge
  • Each link of the Jubilee bracelet
  • The folding clasp

The results

Worn daily. Kept pristine.

The GMT-Master II left the studio fully protected and ready for daily wear, turned around quickly and looking exactly as it did from the factory.

Client feedback

“I wanted to start wearing my GMT-Master II as a true daily watch, but I couldn’t stand the thought of scratching those beautiful polished center links. I took it down to WristGuard London and I couldn’t be happier with how the team handled it.

The turnaround was incredibly quick and efficient. They got the watch protected properly in no time at all, and the quality of the fit is outstanding - you honestly cannot tell there is film on the steel. It was a flawless service from start to finish, and it’s given me the exact peace of mind I needed to wear it everywhere. Highly recommend!”
