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.

I think it is fitting on a tool watch such as you SD

The way I feel, Polishing will “destroy” 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.

Micro Laser Welding can help enthusiasts not enjoying a mangled case

I had the same problem with a Svend Andersen Worldtime Chronograph. The deep scar on a lug was "inherited" when I bought the watch. This damage did not deter me because I knew that local repairs by laser welding are easy when a specialist handles it. This...

1. Let it be, if it’s not too visible. Yes, it perhaps hurts at the beginning. But the case is made for protecting the movement. It’s natural that it will get scratches and dents. 2. If you can’t stand it: try it with laser treatment. I got a very remarka... 

So general opinion is to leave it alone

 
 By: ripper444 : July 2nd, 2019-05:36
I will. When I service it I'll have Rolex clean it all up in 5 years and however it comes back is the way it shall be!

That's it. [nt]
