Not sure of the answer to your question either....

my base response, without any scientific justification, is that you can treat the ATZ material like steel. Get a 'Sharpe' marker and the mark will be there even if you try and wash it off with soap and water. Can it be polished out? I would imagine so. In other words, the porosity of the material is low meaning that any mark does not move far below the surface and remains superficial.

I loved the insights Pablo gave us about the polo sport. I makes me appreciate this sport much more. Now I know why this sport is generally for the more affluent - imagine the cost of maintaining these horses! And since you really can't transport them aro...

article into ATZ, but a great deal of it can be found on the web. Material science journals are full of articles about new medical applications for the material. Thanks for reading and good to see you here. Andrew H

. . . ever since finishing last in a donkey race back in grade school, compounded by a series on the Mickey Mouse Club revolving around a snotty polo-playing kid, Kurt Russell, and adolescent America's sweetheart, Annette Funicello. One bad experience plu...
A purpose-made watch....

......yep, not only does the watch fit the bill in terms of being built for purpose, it has that genuinely robust sporty look that works too. Even the case back had me fascinated. Great article about polo and the RM030.
Nice report on the RM030

Great to see the RM in action, and very cool to know that the RM10 on Pablo's wrist survived that fall off the horse. Regards, ED-209
Insightful.

Never knew that so many horses were required for the sport. Also, never knew that the horses suffered so many problems. That last photo is amazing and chilling at the same time. This polo watch is distinctive and very white. Easy to see. I'd be really con...
Good to know!

All my qualms are defeated. Now all I have to do is sell the house, the kids to medical experiments, and raid the retirement fund. Wait a minute, I don't have those to raid.

As happy as i am to get confirmation that the rm 10 and 35 holds up well to this rigorous sport, and they should, given that they're sport watches, I'm a little sad to hear that the 53 is mostly looked at. It wants to be worn and played!
