No matter what you do it will get scratched again.

Anyways would you call this a scuff, scratch, blemish??

Anyone with any common sense would know that any of the various names given from normal wearing could apply to your post.

I'd call that character

This is naturally where my left wrist sits and the SD43 bracelet makes contact with the aluminum body of the MacBook.

Since then, no scratches!

Make up a cool story about how they got there. It's a diver, so those are graze marks from the teeth of the massive shark that snuck up and attacked you attracted by the shiny gold doubloons you had in your hands discovered in a sunken Spanish galleon located in 80 meters of water off the coast of Hispaniola.

It grazed your wrist, just missed your head, but severed your air hose and you barely lived to tell the tale.

I would call it a pious fib. Although not a "huge deal" and you are not "worried about it" , you managed to become "disappointed" in yourself, for something that cannot be avoided.

You are not sure how you would classify it on your band? Is it a scuff , scratch or blemish? Huh?

Congrats on the watch, it´s a beauty.

I would call it easily repairable.

DPE · 3 August 2018, 06:34 AM

Well it is a pain in the backside, but a conversational point. just try not to do it again, lol. Get it sorted and move on, bit of bad luck. Nice watch !

They’re scuff marks but the good news is that it’s easy to fix without removing much material.

The MBP will definitely scratch your watches since the entire chassis is made from aluminum. I don’t rest my palms on mine when I type and if I’m at home, I take my watch off when using it just for comfort.

As for the bracelet, just polish it a bit with scotch brite pads then use #0000 steel wool. Or use cape cod and turn them into PCLs for a unique look!

This is the reason for most of my scratches I ever get.

Chester01 · 10 September 2018, 09:52 AM

I’d call it normal wear and tear.

debbs20 · 10 September 2018, 09:53 AM

It is a big scratch but i would not worry much as it can fixed easily.

Tvo2003 · 19 September 2018, 08:45 AM

Just get the Cape Cod polishing cloth and buff it out

DoctorA · 19 September 2018, 09:49 AM

Now you can tell your watch from a 1000 SD43

Byrdguy · 19 September 2018, 10:09 AM

If it was mine, I'd get some Scotchbrite and call it gone.

Glidelock · 19 September 2018, 10:44 AM

I'd call those over magnified lil' rubs...a Nothing Burger, and move on! You can buy a 600+ grit super fine sanding block from Home Depot for about $3.00 and make them dissapear in about 4 seconds, but if I were you I would spend my time on getting that Dive Extension removed so as you get a better fit on the wrist!

Haha I thought this thread was dead but it’s back!! Lol I learned to live with it and look at it as a unique part of my SD43. I did take the divers extension off and wow A LOT better fit.

debbs20 · 19 September 2018, 11:11 AM

Minor scratch and can be fixed easily.

Well, if you do get tired of them, I had marks that looked almost exactly like that and a scotch bride pad took care of them quite well. Results were posted here if you care to look back at my posts.

justdate · 19 September 2018, 11:16 AM

That is a scratch, not a scuff and definitely not a blemish.
