I think you should consider this radical option: do nothing about it.

Think about it. Who is really going to notice. Your watch will get dings and scars over time. While this can be irritating, it is perfectly normal and seldom are these mars visible except under your personal scrutiny. Same thing happens to most all rings and bracelets.

So instead of attempting to tend to each one as it occurs--unless it really is glaringly visible--simply wait and have your whole watch case and bracelet touched up the next time it goes in for routine service.

Remember, it is impossible to keep a daily worn watch in pristine condition. But you can drive your self buggy and spend a lot of money trying. And especially fixing little mars on the BRUSHED finish on the side (I'm assuming the GMT has the same side finish as my SMP) is more tedious as normal buffing removes the brushes finish, which then has to be redone over that section.

Plus, since you're dealing mostly with jeweler's time as the expense, tending to one small area can cost half of what having the whole watch spruced up would.

So consider saving your money and your sanity by taking these little mars in stride--knowing you will have them attended to at your next routine service.
