I don't think it looks bad and I would not have a problem with it.

No worries!! Looks great!! When I service my watches I request to keep the scratches on them since they have history.

At least you did not leave it on the top of your car, forget it was there and later drive off. Things could be a lot worse than your situation.

its been very sunny and a heatwave here in uk recently and i was admiring my blackbay as you do,and noticed the scratches across the lug from that nasty sponge is still there shining at me in the sun,for some reason i thought that went away lol,but i had forgotten about it i guess.so im going with the bar fight story if anyone looks at my watch.i like the added character dont you think it, it will look even better in 10 years of constant wear even more character and patina,well thats what i plan to do im a one watch guy at the moment but if i buy a gold day date soon (still saving up)ill only wear the gold on special occasions.and keep wearing the heck out of this tudor daily as its as true tool watch like the old rolex and tudor subs.cheers guys im off to the bar now happy days

It honestly looks fine. These things Are always worse to the owner. I consider it similar to kerbing an alloy. It grates at you for a day or so, and then you forget about it. Take care of it at service time and enjoy your lovely watch mate. For sure don't get it sorted now as you will do something else before service and it could have been sorted in one go.

I was going to mention about a light pass with a cape cod. Sounds like it took the edge of it for you.
The nail buffer might be a good call, as I have read on here about someone brushing PCL's out with what looked like a good result. |

cape cod cloth was dried out completely it had been left open for ages months.i thought it helped a little untill it got sunny and then the sun revealed the scrape still shining the lug ,im happy the cloth was dead anyway as i dont like to polish watches really,but like every one says here that it looks fine so im happy it will get more scratches anyway.but like i said i will never get it polished ever im not one for polishing and refinishing it removes all the character cant wait to see how it looks in 5-10 years though guys
