(Some humor and levity... yet this idea would probably work)

I GOT IT!

As you live in the USA so probably have watch insurance... have you ever desired visiting a club in Miami, LA, or even take a visit to London? Flash around the watch and let nature do it's course.

Problem solved. Always happy to help :)

And as I stated before, I'm certainly not going going to pay for a new clasp for such a minor scratch. No way.
If this was stated in your first post, there wouldn’t have been many options to discuss.
Hope you get it sorted ASAP so you can move on.
Best wishes.

JR you're an affluent gentleman that obviously takes care of your valued possessions. That is something to be proud of.

I'm not going to read all 8 pages.. but rather, I'll just state the obvious:

The scratch looks to be mainly on the polished centre section. Why not just give a 5 second rub with a Cape Cod cloth and it'll vanish?
The remaining 2mm of the scratch can be touched up with a touch up pen quicker than it took to write this.

..not that it would bother me, I wear my watch everywhere unprotected and I now collect scratches and it'll never be getting polished (rounded off) by RSC come service time either. The scratches are a history of my ownership.

On the whole I can appreciate you are on honeymoon with your new watch. When this wears off you'll find you can get some real pleasure from wearing without all the cotton wool.

Forgive me for reading only the first and last page, but this totally confuses me. If you don't want a new clasp and polishing is not acceptable, what possible resolution will make you happy?

And don't say a new watch, because that's simply unreasonable.

Could you remove the tape, spray little Windex on your clasp and clean it, then take new pictures. I think the tape magnifies the issues. They may be smudges rather than scratches.
