I've said it before, I'll say it again. Your watch is not officially ruined. I won't bother fixing and it and instead just throw it away.

What's with this new generation of 'watch guys'? My goodness.

Yes you are crazy but not for the reasons you listed...

You are crazy-thinking that you can wear a watch without damaging from day 1.



The first is always the hardest...

Sell it, buy another one that's BNIB, put it in a safe and never wear it. Only take it out to look at it while wrapped in velvet from head to toe. Voila, problem solved.

No offense but I don’t understand how people go through life like this. I wish I had such minor things to worry about. It is a watch just enjoy it don’t let yourself become obsessed with a ding it cannot be healthy for the mind

Wear the watch and accept that dings and scratches WILL happen. Or put it in a glass case to stare at if that would provide you more enjoyment and less worry. Me, I wear and enjoy my watches knowing that shit happens. OCD, wearing the watch, AND keeping it perfect is not a reality.

A bluesy will show every mark under the sun with its gold/PCL etc.
I’d ignore the marks until service time.

i would worry more about that massive red circle you appear to have around that tiny mark ;o) . as others first - more will come, and think of the absolute pleasure you'll feel in 5 years when you get back from RSC with ALL of those gone

Focus on how beautiful the watch is otherwise. Perfection is a myth.

That’s why so many watches are overpolished.
Many folks out there are jumping to polish the watch after some minor scratches.

OP leave it as it is!
