Get a professional opinion or a few and go from there.

[watchwatcher]

I would not even dream of it.

You do at your own peril.

[Hardtimes]

Leave it, and in 5-10 years you will have more and then send it away and have the whole watch professional done. So you can look forward to "new" watch down the road.

The nick looks deep on the YG but is actually quite shallow, so I am thinking that the polishing would be enough

Beautiful watch

If it bothers you I'd have it professionally refinished. Laser welded and professionally contoured and polished back to factory specs. If its a nick, a cape cod or sunshine cloth won't remove it.

Whilst every ding may tell a story, getting nicked by a charger isn't a story I'd consider worthy of living with that damage.

I would wear that watch in Cape Cod.

I would not try DIY Rolex service procedures.

This.

It's a little annoying to look at, but I'll probably just leave it alone for now as most have suggested.

Biggest reason being that professional laser welding services don't seem all that accessible to me (I'm in Europe) and the ones everyone suggests are in the US.

If there was a shop near me, or somewhere relatively close that could fix this same-day for a few hundred dollars I'd go, but for now I'll live with it.

Polishing metal isn't really rocket surgery… practice on a cheap watch first.

[Watchsprings]

I would not attempt this.

[geoach]

Getting it laser welded for that little dent is like killing a fly with a sledge hammer.

I'd just leave it... At least until there's another issue or a routine service and then decide whether or not you want to have it polished.
