The cut is the deepest...

Let it go and enjoy the ride!

I'd leave it... I think it lends some character

A case can always come back looking a lot worse after a bad polish job.

I know you know it's there, but fortunately it is on the 12 o'clock side of the stem and it is low, near the case back, making it seldom seen. Personally, it would bother me too, until I

realized it is minor, down low, on the 12 side of the stem and seldom seen. In other words, let it go, you're going to get another ding at some point. Sorry for your ding though.

Kind of like a cool scar!

The way I feel, Polishing will β€œdestroy” the whole case, and is clearly visible

whereas a heavy tool watch getting some marks over time is just a natural thing. When I bought my second hand Millgauss, picked the unpolished scratched one in stead of a freshly polished one.
