I certainly wouldn't buy a _new_ watch with a chipped crystal. But, for example, I have a couple-decade-old Datejust with some fine chips in the crystal edge and that's okay. It came by them honestly.
The one thing that bothers me - and keeps bothering me - is damage caused by improper repair or polishing. Nicked lugs are okay. Shiny lugs that have lost their sharp edges or acquired a wave in the top surface from a buffing wheel? Awful.
