·I’d wait for the next service due. You will be the only one who will know that the scratch is there.

·Perhaps a reputable watchmaker in your area can replace it for much less?

yes, but he knows.
years ago i scratched the crsytal of my forst luxury wartch, a tag carrera, couple of weeks/months after purchase, by closing the wooden shutters at the back of my house.
I got sick for a couple of days but learnt to leave with it and forget about it.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerBezel should be removed otherwise diamond residue in the gap would become an issue.
Not a good idea. This isn't at all like a Speedmaster Pro. The crystal is pressed into the bezel on this model - there is no "gap" really, as the crystal gasket is between the bezel and the crystal.
It ceases to become a DIY job if the crystal is removed, and quite frankly that is not necessary at all.
Oh, and assuming this is a 32205000, the crystal is no where near $400...

alternatively seek a confident watch-maker that can polish it for you. It won’t cost much or take too long.
