Welcome to metal bezel ROO's.
More scratches will come so no point polishing for each one as you will have nothing left of the bezel before long !!
It was the reason I ended up selling mine. Well that and the lousy service when it was refinished.

Don’t polish it. You will regret.
Maybe some drunk AP doctor will f*ck your watch up for life.

Good advice from the guys but if it bothers you still in a few days, get AP to polish it, you can have it done 3/4 times with integrity and price is very low maybe a few hundred.

Id echo what many have said for this particular case and say wait for a bit. If you banged the side of the bezel and saw that harsh indent I'd say that would maybe be worth addressing...but given where it is, I'd definitely wait till it happens more majorly...and this is coming from a perfect bezel freak...

Agree with the others here. The scratch is barely seen, just live with it until it accumulates more serious scratches or dents, then do a bezel replacement.

Unfortunately no matter how hard you try to not scratch that bezel it will happen more than once. I am incredibly careful with my watches and my diver still has some very light marks.

you guys are very helpful, makes me feel so much better after hearing the opinions, I guess I will use it for several years more and wait for more marks before polishing it

I can hardly see it. Have it polished lightly when it goes to service ..eventually.
