Agree with the leave it alone camp. It will get more. They will be dealt with professionally at service time.

I'd leave it alone.

The only to keep that bezel pristine is to wrap it in plastic and never wear it. Wear it and enjoy it, if you get enough little scratches have it polished then.

Best to leave it alone period, but at least give it six months, then revisit. If you find that you have an overwhelming need to "cod" it, practice as already suggested here, on a couple of cheap watches that have a somewhat similar surface/appearance, and then decide on the risk/reward.

I also think you should leave it alone. Wait a few months, you will get a few more, assuming you wear the watch and don't leave it in the safe. Unless you always wear long sleeves. Revisit the issue in a few months.

What are your guys views on sunshine polishing cloth? Not as aggressive but could remove the scratch? Maybe

Dude, just leave it. I bet it's eating you alive, so if it really bugs you, try it but I have a feeling you'll regret it

Here's my scratch, can be seen between 12-1

Okay so..I took on everyones advice and weighed out the pro's and cons...best case I remove the scratch to a decent level, worse case I ruin it and I got to fork out a couple hundred for a new bezel. So, I used it on my breitling caseback first, which is super highly polished and that removed a scuff pretty instantly.

I then went straight onto the Rolex, probably spent 10-15 seconds of light rubbing and kept wiping and washing starting again and eventually got it down to removing 95% of the scratch. It's still there, but as you can see it's not visible under light which is exactly what I was after.

As for the finish of that area of the bezel, it really hasn't changed it at all. I can't see a difference from the touched/untouched areas. So overall, a good outcome.
