Doesn't look that bad, I can hardly see it. I wouldn't worry about it.
Looks like they should be able to take care of it pretty easy at service time.

I wouldn't give that a second thought and I sure would have the watch buffed out because of that.
I'll probably never have any of my watches buffed, for that matter.

Looks like a very small "normal" ding, I wouldn't worry about the metal being damaged or too used while buffing it out!

Leave it....You'll have many more by the time it's ready for a service!!!
After that, she'll be returned like new, ready for you to do it all over again!!

If you send to RSC to service it's going to get buffed as part of normal service. It will come back looking new. If you don't need a service leave it until then. These watches can be buffed many times and if done correctly a very, very small amount of metal will be removed. I've seen watches sent to Rolex 6,7 or more times and they look great (some still looked pretty old bc the owners didn't want many parts replaced.) Can't even tell. When I sent my DSSD off and got it back it looked new. All hairline scratches were gone. The corners were still as sharp as the day I got it.

If you do decide to fix it, you better put it away in a safe and never wear it again.

Wear and enjoy. Don't worry about it as it is very insignificant. RSC can polish it out when you send in for service. You are going to get many more between now and then.

Looks more like a small dent rather than a scratch.
I'd leave it until the service. |
