It would be no big deal for me. I don’t baby my watches nor am I reckless with them but I have nicks like this that I have no idea how I got them.

If you’re close with the AD I would bring it up to them just so that they know. As a business owner I would like to know about these kinds of incidents.

Agree. It always amazes me when people on the forum get angst when they get a scratch or bump (or fear the dreaded “polish”) on a 10-20 K$ watch when they don’t mind getting a few rock chips on their 50K$ car.

Oh well. Happy New Year !

I wouldn’t worry about it. Now if you do get it repaired, will it come back with something else wrong with it? It’s like a he said/she said situation. When the watch is out of your possession anything can happen... it could accidentally be dropped and hit the floor, you get it back and all the sudden it’s running 2 make minutes fast per day. Is it worth it to take that chance? I’ve learned over the years that it’s hard d to trust ANYONE with my watch. Unless it needs service, I wouldn’t do it.

He is right. That is 100% from reinstalling the bracelet with spring bar.

glad to see so much good advice in this thread instead of folks recommending more drastic measures....I would also suggest that you just wear it, as chances are it will get far worse marks, dents, and scratches once you use it

nikesupremedunk · 2 January 2020, 04:27 AM

Yup that’s definitely from the spring bar shooting out when they were trying to put the bracelet back on. I don’t think it can be polished out without removing material, you might need to get it laser welded. Either way sucks that this happened on a brand new watch but try to enjoy it.

It's nothing to worry about

I can't even tell on non macro pic. Just enjoy

Bladeshot · 2 January 2020, 04:55 PM

Congrats on your first scratch. Plenty more coming. All can be polished or repaired when the time comes. Enjoy the magnificent time piece!

I put a good ding in my new DBlue over the weekend. It happens.

dcash0615 · 2 January 2020, 05:27 PM

I would leave it alone. Just enjoy your CHNR and after a few weeks you will have other signs of wear on your watch and it won’t bother you anymore. Congrats on your new GMT.

Thanks ! That’s sound advice and I’ve been enjoying it all along the Dalmatian coast this holiday.

Haha that’s apt. Good song nonetheless.

Your situation is complicated to get it fixed so just live with it and call it a “personality mark”.

Take it back and ask for a RSC to repair or replace because that is not acceptable.

If AD’s can’t do this work without damage then they should not be attempting any work.

True. No watchmaker who removes and installs bracelets on a regular basis for a living should be leaving lug damage behind. I agree it is unacceptable.

You must have missed the bit about OP buying the watch in another country

Once you've left the premises, it's too late to complain, isn't it?

A lesson to all of us, thoroughly inspect your watch, before you
accept it.

It shouldn't have happened in the 'watchmaker's' hands. But, I agree with others here, that have said, it will annoy you for a while,
but after a relatively short time, you'll forget about it.

Beautiful watch!

That can be polished no problem and easily fixed. You’ll get more as you wear anyway. I like to leave OEM for this and a variety of other reasons though. Congrats on your graduation
