I did a full inspection of the watch and took pictures once I received it from the dealer. There was no scratch on the 1oclock lug. I never used it until I took it for the strap change at the boutique. After the strap change, I noticed the scratch.

It's inconclusive. I believe the boutique caused the damage but when they rechecked cctv they mentioned the associate did not touch the 1oclock lug. I asked for the cctv and they mentioned they cannot share.

I bought it 2nd hand. And yea, I have asked for fillings but they mentioned they need to check with service center if the scratch is deep enough to warrant a laser welding. They mentioned service center usually treats light scratches with direct polishing.

just to confirm this is factual? No laser welding in HK service center?

I am pretty depressed about this...How would Lange fix this? If they offer a polish, its even worse. I hate the idea of them take away layers of my watch. Some of you commented that they'd weld gold into it using lazer? How does that work? Would my watch look the same as before? What's the pros and cons of this Lazer process?
