the best thing to do is to accept them. they are normal.
if you jump on it with the polishing cloth you ll ruin the watch on the long run. wait for the service time and give it a professional polish after years of wear.

Brushed center link or polished? Plenty of threads detailing the removal on both.
Honestly, I would learn to live with them. These things are meant to be worn and really the only people who noticed imperfections are those who wear it. |

you will learn to like (love them) with time. I think for a new owner, even if you get a vintage watch, you want to have those hairlines scratches removed right away but I can assure you that you tend to move on ... they keep coming back  therefore you would polish them EVERY TIME which is nonsense. what kind of watch is it ? mind showing us the damage done ? |

Scratches are symbolic of a watch well worn and hopefully a life well lived

Wait until service time so the entire watch can be polished. If you try to repair every single scratch as you find them, you’ll end up ruining the watch as mentioned above. Same exact concept when it comes to polishing a vehicle’s paint.
