I also found out about how it was in Back to the Future as well from Youtube videos on watches, and it just made me want it more, since I always wanted one as a kid AND now I know it's a movie watch as well!
Yeah it's like a weird scratch, more like a chip than a hairline one. I have no idea how I picked it up. The one near the lug hole is almost guaranteed to be from one of the strap tools dinging it, but the chip on the side further down is just odd.
I'll ask my watch repair guy how much it costs next time I see him.
Yeah like on my Vostok and Casios I didn't care about scratches but man, this is the first nice Seiko I've owned so I'm like damn, I scratched it! The pain will fade in time....
I know right? Even for my Vostok I was like oh noooooo what if I scratch it?!?! Then scratches started showing up on it even when I was careful, and I stopped caring for that watch and even thought it made it look cooler hahaha.
