Easy, you can do it yourself with a brush pen.

You can, but you'll probably have a new one in a week.

I would say yes without any problems but there will be many more just like it to follow. Nice Explorer.

Brush what out....stop ocd-ing and enjoy your watch. Scratches are like zombies, slow and dumb, but they keep coming and somehow manage to catch up no matter how fast or smart you are.

Scratches suck, but it is the cost of doing business when you wear a nice timepiece.

Luckily the scratch is not in the case where it is more obvious.

Leave it alone… you won't even notice it after a week or two.

Wait a bit, and if it still bothers you pickup a #7447 maroon Scotchbrite pad (say off ebay) and lightly rub with the grain over the scatch. Clean the watch up thoroughly with liquid hand soap and some H2O. You can search here at TRF under "scratch removal" for more info/help.

It so easy to fix, I would brush it myself. I'm a bit OCD with my watches, so you may want to ignore my comment.

It can be brushed out, but I would just leave it. Scotch brite pads and fiberglass pens have given me more grief than relief. It is difficult to PERFECTLY match the factory brushed finish.

ScotchBrite #7447 (the maroon) will take that out in three passes and match the original finish perfectly. hhcave, if it bothers you enough to post a picture it's worth the 10 seconds to make it go away...
