Incredibly minor, in my opinion. That's going to happen if you wear your watch.

Fix or not, I’d wait till it is time to service it. You’re going to get more of them, and over-polishing a watch is a big no-no.

At that magnification I'm not sure if those are dings or gaps in the atomic structure of the metal...

YOU'RE WEARING IT?! ARE YOU MAD?! Put that thing back in the safe before you do any more value destroying damage to it!

Just kidding. Just wear it and love it as is, meant to be worn. Those little dings would not bother me in the slightest if I made them.

I wouldn't even have them taken out at service, personally. You may have a different opinion.

I’d let it be. I can understand how you feel, see if over time you’re able to get over it. If not, you can always send it in.

Those would hurt my feelings at first but I would get over them fast. You strike me as a guy that appreciates a good patina so I bet you will get over these too. It's a vibe...

Haha, don’t stress those are SO small. Keep wearing it, they’ll start to blend more and more. That’s a high-traffic area when it comes to dings and dents on a watch so don’t worry about it.

If you're never planning to sell it I would totally leave it the way it is. Those are like memories, right? My son wears my Speedmaster and it's got tiny dings like that, but I would never think about fixing it or polishing it. Those dings make it "yours".

Indeed -- and I'll bet we will then see, perhaps at 10,000X, significant problems on the bezel and elsewhere.

Keep the watch, try to stop worrying about stuff like this or you won't enjoy using the watch as at the durable timekeeper it is.
