The damage I was talking about is the dent next to the speaker (?) cutout. It wasn’t there until the watch depot got their hands on it.At 85% Apple will not do anything, that is true.
If I look at your picture, this looks like normal wear ant tear microscrathes. I have it too on my watches. I sometimes polish them with "Cape Cod" polishing cloth and get them shiny again. "Cape Cod" removes an incredible amount of scratches on steel surfaces.
Happy to report I’m very familiar with Cape Cod!
