Re: New watch(5 days old) damaged already :(

I scratched one of my newer watches when I changed my steel bracelet to a leather strap. In the beginning. I was frustrated like you. I'm not worried any more, especially after finding out that it is possible to have the stainless steel bezel polished. As far as I'm informed, colored bezels can not be polished. Where I live, the price is from US$15 to US$40, depending on how much work has to be done. In 5 years or so, when it's time to have my watch overhauled, I will also have it polished. Until then, I will live with the scratches that already exist and the ones that will happen within the next 5 years. :-)

Derek, thank you for your help. I dedicate my Seamaster AT to your memory. Rest in peace.
