Scratches are inevitable. Either live with it, or call RSC.

I’m no expert, but suspect it may be more efficient to replace the bezel insert rather than refill/polish the triangle.

Unless it was a huge eyesore, I’d just live with it until service time

Sounds like it might need switching out. Depending how bad the scratch is then maybe just live with it as scratches are inevitable

It's pretty hard to get at and scratch the PVD coating used on the bezel markings.

If it does get scratched there isn't really a fix for lost material at the DIY level.
