In reviewing old posts here and other

places you'll find that this is a common problem, or rather concern, for many SMP owners. Seems Omega uses a slightly softer stainless steel than some others. Personally, I'm of the mind to avoid being too concerned about it, and care most about the case/bezel/crystal. As long as my scratches stay fine (not really noticeable to anyone other than yourself) I don't want to get into the habit of buffing them out too often as they'll be back before you know it anyhow! In short, yes, a jeweler can buff them out. Depending on your comfort level/skill/experience you can also, but you have to be careful of what you use and cognizant of the fact that you woould be working on a polished and brushed surface (different method.) Good luck!
