Glidelock scratching
Has anyone had issues with scratch marks that come from the glidelock clasp? I am talking about scratches that become aparent on the extended bracelet that slides out when you loosen clasp?

Wear and tear. How often will you have the glide lock extended that far? My guess is not very often, and if you do, add a link

I don't think there is any way to avoid minor scratches with metal on metal contact. If your OCD is off the charts, you might apply some clear scotch tape on that part.

Looks normal to me. Not sure you have the clearance there to add any form of protection. You could try a small piece of InvisiShield screen protector if it really bothers you

I had a DSSD for 5 years and that's typical unavoidable wear. You'll also notice scratches on the inner extended bracelet on the blade which has the crown impression in the steel. This also got scratched up on mine. My DSSD was a daily wear. Either refrain from wearing this watch often, or get something else.

Normal. Also normal is the "line scratch" on last link rubbing against clasp.
