Gold Day-Date.

Crap.... I dented a lug---
Should I get a Jeweler to polish it or fill it with gold.


Anyone had this issue and fixed it?

Is it deep ?

Shoot a pic if possible.

My watchmaker would fill up the dent and polish it . . .

But it depends on the condition of the complete bracelet otherwise it might have to be polished completely . . .

You could also wait for its next service just in case another ding occurs before then.
