A watch that is being used in it's intended use will get scratched. If one was to constantly buff out every scratch all the time you'll end up with a Ruined watchcase IMO.

Try Using a Cape Cod Cloth (Lakeland sell it here in the UK),
I even think a bit of Solvo Autosol from Halfords would work but its more abrasive so be careful |

Sorry to see your scratch. But as others have said you'll get used to it after a while.
My first big scratch was an awful experience, and I couldn't even remember doing it. It was then I realised that the steel used by Rolex is seemingly the most easily scratch-able material known to man! |

Wear it and leave the scratch unpolished.

Similar to a human body, scratches show a life lived!! Leave it be and add some more!

When I first got my GMTIIc I too was upset about my new scratches. Couple years later sent to RSC and remembered what it was like to have a new watch.
