·It’s not fun to put that first scratch on a watch, but it’s inevitable unless you never wear it or live in bubble wrap. Nobody but you will see that.
Enjoy your grail!

·Man up and get over it 😁
In 50 years there will likely be geeks fawning all over it saying, "wow, look at that honest scratch, must have been used by a diver for it's intended purpose" and the suchlike....see it as you are creating a 'legend' for the future!

·That looks like a scratch from strap/bracelet changes.
The lugs are very thin near the end, and a springbar popping out from the ends can do serious structural damage to the lugs. That’s why many used SM Divers have deformed lugs.

·What? You mean that wasn't what stopped the great white from severing your hand at at the wrist?

I can see how it might cause confusion - that 1mm scratch is in the exact location one would expect from somone catching the D6 pinion hinge on a saturation dive tank hatch during ingress..... (that old D6 scratch)... should add $$$ to the re-sale :0)

Wow, this is new. Thin, deformed lugs, because of springbar popping out during strap change.

"Deformed" lugs on used watches are typically due to over polishing, not super strength spring bars...
