: watch automatic. it costs $1995 retail

In that case, there is no coating on the outside of the crystal to scratch off, and unless you scraped a diamond across it, my guess is that the crystal is defective. As I said, scratches cannot be polished out, so you will need a new crystal. If the watch is still under warranty (AD purchased I'm assuming), then MAYBE you can convince Omega to repair it for free. Normally this would not be covered, but if you make it very clear to them that you are 100% sure you never came in contact with any hard objects, they may fix it simply to keep you happy.

My only question is, if the watch is several months old, why didn't you notice the scratches before? Are they extremely small? Omega may ask you the same question.
