I'm not fussy about scratches on a watch, but this is unacceptable. I can't tell quite how deep it is, but I don't think a quick polish would do the trick.

Interesting point. There's minor wear & tear during initial transport and small rock chips during test drives & moving around the dealership premises. Watches get some very minor wear by customers, but not really anything more than a couple hairlines. No fuss needed.

That said, I ask dealers not to wash or correct any paint. Just give me the color and I'll do it myself or give it to a detailer. Even exotic car dealerships will swirl up new paint by using dirty cloth. They put a spray-on wax which will hide it until you do a thorough wash and see what's affected the clear coat.
