: I have the urge to kill. I am not kidding.

Since they are an authorized Omega retailer, I'd go back and DEMAND that they pay to send the watch back to Omega to polish the caseback. You certainly don't want to trust THEM to do it. If they refuse, threaten to call Omega directly and e-mail Omega in Switzerland at aftersales@omega.ch. They caused they scratches, they should pay to get rid of them, period.
