First ding on 15500..

Not even sure how this happened, should I fix or live with it? Really bothering me since it’s so new.

Any other 15500 owners out there with their first ding feel free to chime in with a pic

Live with it! That's minuscule.

One thing is for sure, you will get more dings on your new AP. It's just a fact of life. The first scratch is the deepest.

Always hurts to get a ding, but consider yourself lucky! At least it’s on the bezel, which is easily polished or replaced.

Tiny, move on as bound to happen many more times (and worse) if planning on wearing it

I just found a scratch on my new 15500 as well. Im not 100 percent sure but i think it was this unexpectedly heavy casino door. Scratch is on the bezel at the 12 minute mark picture below. After failing to rub it off i shit my pants then almost jumped off the roof of my house in utter disgust and disapp at myself.

Annoying but small ding. Bezel can always be fixed or replaced down the road if it still bothers you (most def not now).

Ohhh the frustration.....sucks big time but its inevitable. Enjoy it especially if you plan on keeping it long term. Keeping things 100% can be a headache (potholes and watch scratches are my enemies). Keep calm and move on!! Beautiful 15500 Blue dial. Rock the hell out of it!

Otherwise the condition is perfect - have you been wearing it much ? Or just being ultra careful

Oh, and definitely leave it. Don’t use up a polish on that alone as there will be more.

If you fix that, you'll never have peace. Ever.
