Brand new Sea-Dweller Deepsea dinged --what's the best way to fix?

[omx5o]

Think about it this way. If you weld every ding, how will that affect your return on investment.

[pav1987]

Awesome ding, now you will have a story to pass down to whoever you pass it down too on how you dinged it.

[Andad]

My risk versus reward barometer tells me to leave that alone and enjoy your watch.

It can’t be polished out without removing material and is a little insignificant to consider laser surgery.

But it is your call.

[Nairn1980]

Just wear and enjoy the thing.

[SeaDweller50]

Time to deploy the bubble wrap.

[Roadglide 2016]

Congrats on the watch, it's a beauty!

As someone once told me about things like this, "you are the only one who is going to notice this."

So, wear the watch and enjoy the watch!

[myporsche]

Buy a Timex, seriously they are great

[danwang0520]

that's a small ding......leave your battle marks alone, may more to come

[Ian Macdermott]

Just wait until you start wearing it when your welding the legs on that oil rig. Then you'll see some dings on it.

Seriously you bought a watch that wears like a dustbin on a wrist, better get used to banging into everything with it.


By the way congratulations nice watch.

[JSolution]

its tiny i wouldnt worry

[Woody]

I would just wear and enjoy. If you leave it a few weeks then the pain will start to ease and you can console yourself with the knowledge that it can be sorted when you get the watch serviced - no worries. Enjoy what is a great watch

[Limey-]

Ha ha !!! We have all been there . Wait till you flood your expensive vintage sub .
My DSSD has a few dings and a cracked pearl . Looks great and I don’t worry about character marks any longer . Wear it enjoy it.

[Boaters]

Welcome to the forum as far as a ding goes all I see is a little scratch I would leave it be there will be more

[Cru Jones]

The watch is rated to 3,900 meters. I think that minuscule blemish won’t impact its performance. ;-)

[jimcameron]

I had one like that, I just threw it in the trash and bought a new one.

[petay993]

The DSSD is a big old beast and it is inevitable that it will get dings and marks in normal everyday wear however hard you try. Attempting to keep a watch 100% perfect is a recipe for not enjoying that watch. Relax!

[Rolex.c6]

That monster is designed to survive the deepest oceans, that ding means nothing. It can take a lot more.

[BrazenC5]

Call Rolliworks, get a quote and then you can decide.

If you have to explain where in the closeup to look, it’s ignorable.
You’ll get worse, believe me, lol.
Just keep gathering love marks and have it refinished at service time if needed.

[Judge]

I was the same way with my DSSD. I wear mine daily, yard work, office, hunting..etc. It has become stress free now. Scratches will come, dings will come enjoy life and the watch will follow.

Relax, let go....it's ok.

[fixinbones]

I had the same ding on mine and had it polished out as it happened the first week I got the watch. You will never be able to tell that material was removed to fix it as it’s a small ding and it’s high on the lug and the lugs are very thick.

[Rori]

This dang could be something on a a normal case but on the SD is barely visible. I would do nothing about it and keep enjoying the watch.

[OG1982]

I feel your pain OP, we have all been there and it’s very easy for everyone to dismiss this as insignificant. But deep down (see what I did there ), this really is just a minor blemish and something that will make you smile in weeks/months/years to come.

If you bought the watch as an investment, then lock it away in the safe and don’t wear it. But if it’s a daily watch then these incidents are part of daily life and need to be embraced.

[NeoAnderson]

Wear it for awhile. If it still bothers you then fix it. Trust me you'll forget about it.

[travisb]

Welcome. That's nothing. Wear and enjoy it without worries.

[Turnaround]

Mask it with more scratches and dings. That works well for me.

[johnliley]

I would ding the other side to even it out. ;)

[pbubsy]

Mine has dings and scratches everywhere. I no longer notice, think it looks even better than new and it is still going strong after 9 years. Wear it and enjoy it. Get serviced by Rolliworks when the time comes and they can fix anything you want. Mine, I'm getting a movement service only.

[SN13]

Expected to see:

[Chadridv]

it'll be one of many! It's always tough at first, but you'll get over it.

It's hard to tell from the pic but there's a possible a standard polish would remove it. If it's really deep though you'd need laser welding which would probably cost $250-700 depending on who does it for you.

That said, I would (as the others have mentioned) just wear it and try to forget about it. Imagine getting it fixed, sending it out for 3 weeks, paying $500 and you scratch it the first day or week of it's return lol.
