Smooth bezel meets stainless steel fridge.

You guys would not believe the dings my watches have suffered. I polished one out, and it got scuffed again. I’m always disappointed, but we don’t take our cars to the paint shop every time a scuff or a ding occurs. I’m empathetic, from experience. But I also know it’s gonna happen again.

If you decide you can't live with it and you're going to get the bezel replaced might as well run a cape cod over it. Nothing to lose since you're replacing it anyways and there's a chance the results might surprise you.

Every watch I wear……a WG Sub, RG GMT, SS Skydweller and SS GMT, all have bruises and abrasions. The first mark will not be the last.
Enjoy but do not overthink. |

Welcome to the tragedy of the smooth bezel. I have two explorer 1s. The bezels looks like the went thru the blender.

I wouldn't sweat it a bit, see them as battle scares because one can never be too careful.

Buff it out with the right cloth and have it polished or replaced when service is due in many years from now.
