Someone may tolerate a ding on their beloved time piece, but that's not me.
A ding is totally different from hairline scratch.
Hairlines represent normal usage or "ageing" of watch, which is actually quite elegant and represent history of the the time piece.
But not a ding, which is an undesirable accident.
Enjoy your 5170P in its full beauty.
Best,
Henry

My watches are pieces of art to me. This ding took away the beauty; i could see nothing but that ding. As if i had a large tear in middle of a painting. Not a scratch. Too have the opportunity to restore it back to original in a matter of 2-3 days; i took advantage. And alas it is back to perfection. If I chipped my Rolex GMT I would’ve wanted it fixed as well. It’s a personality/.trait. The fact that I like to keep my shoes clean means I wear it to show off? [emoji1750]*[emoji3603][emoji3166].
I like to enjoy my stuff and still keep them “crisp” [emoji1308].
It is not “brutal honesty”, just total nonsense.
