My blnr is my daily and it has some marks like that. It happens. Just don’t let it bother you, and an experienced watchmaker should be able to make it look new again when you send it in for service if you choose to polish it.

It's a tool watch (an expensive one at that) so wear it as it is :)

Life is full of bumps and bruises and a few dings here and there. Congratulations! Your watch is now unique. To paraphrase "The Rifleman's Creed." "This is my Sub. There are many like it, but this one is mine."

Oof; I feel your pain. The same exact thing happened to my SubC Date just a few weeks ago as well, on one the opposite lugs. But life moves on I guess!

That sucks.
You could wear it on your right wrist for awhile.

It’s all good. It’s the reason your watch is made of steel, so it can withstand everyday bumps, scrapes and nicks. Several more blemishes and it’ll start to look like a watch you lovingly wore for a long period of time, like it should. Enjoy the journey!

It happens partly because Rolex can no longer be bothered to produce chamfered cases, which help prevent that kind of ding.

Looks brand new to my 114060 that thing is beat to shit. It’s been on every tech dive, night dive and cave dive and has many marks to show for it. It’s a tool watch, move on brother!

That’s what they’re meant to do. They’re tool watches for a reason.

the reason these dings happen is because we try so hard for them not to happen.
