Live with it.

Leave it as-is. In a couple months there will be so many more scratches on the clasp you won't even notice the first one anymore

Now it is personalized and has character. There may be other scratches worse to come so I would just leave that, especially on the clasp where it is bound to get more.

Lots of good advice here in this thread, sans the comment about using a Scotch Brite pad...

Leaving it alone is probably the best advice, but if scratches truly bother you, a light polish with a Cape Cod won't hurt. My DJII has been my daily wearer for almost 3 years now. With the polished center links, there is no way to avoid minor scratches and swirls. I leave the watch alone all year with the exception of one day: it has become my New Year's Eve tradition to crack a beer while watching football and sit down with a Cape Cod for a minor, careful polish. I use tape to mask off the non-polished portion of the bracelet (you only want to get the high-polished center links). I think my results are pretty good, considering this is a daily wearer, sitting behind a desk 5-days/week with your normal desk-dives, followed by normal weekend wear. I will say, however, my wrist awareness is pretty high. By comparison, my neighbor can often be found crawling under his cars on concrete or wrenching in the bilge of his boat, all while wearing his Seadweller!

I got drunk the 2nd day I bought my first Rolex from an AD - needless to say, I woke up with about 3 scratches on it... At first, I hated myself, after a little while, I realized it was best that I had just gotten it out of the way quickly.

I envy this man... He just enjoys his watch without a care in the world, good for him

I do, too - wish I had the stones to do half as much as he does while wearing a Rolex!

Don’t worry Bro! They all start to blend after a little bit.

That looks great. Leave it just the way it is or polish it with a bag of rivets!

I have a bluesy and if you going to stress about scratching you got the wrong watch
