Black Bay coin edge bezel...dent magnet?

Enjoying the 79220n and have been looking at acquiring other black bay watches. My one hesitancy is the coin edge bezel. It seems that many posted for sale have noticeable dents and dings. Mine appears to have some very minor ones. Do any of you share this concern? Could this be easily replaced if desired? Don’t mind most wear and tear but find this specific issue to be an eye sore. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Can certainly be replaced at a low cost when you do a service, not sure Tudor policy outside of service

Thank you. Wonder if anyone has any pricing experience? Definitely something I could live with knowing it is fixable at a later date.

The coin edge bezel has a fine top edge however it does take knocks relatively well in maintaining its shape. In my experience the sapphire crystal tends to take the initial or most of any accidental strike before the low profile bezel does. I'm sure the bezel is easily replaceable at the Tudor/Rolex service centre and without a great cost in relation to the retail price of the watch. Maybe give the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms a try, that should be even hardier.

Thanks for the response. Makes sense regarding the domed crystal. I have a couple of seamasters which I daily and don’t worry about too much. Would like for the Tudor to be able to join the club as well :)
