Brand New Never Worn 5296R...TO buff or not to buff???

What should I do?  Bought a PP 5296 R 001 over the phone from a AD in Florida who I have done business with in the past. Very pleased with them. However, when I got my timepiece in the mail, I noticed a tiny surface scratch on the side of the case between the 5th and 6th hour position. The scratch is VERY small but it's there. Thankfully it's on the side of the watch and not on the top where it would drive me insane.

Waht would you do?

 Leave it, accepting that more scratches are to come over the years.

Take it to them to have buffed? They are an AD who stated that their watch repair people were trained at PP in Geneve. The fact that the store is in a Mall, just makes me nervous. lol. The dealer was cordial and said they would be happy to fix it and assured me it was a simple & free procedure.

Or...spend the money and take it to Henri Stern in NYC to have made perfect.

I have not yet worn the watch and this tiny strach is driving me crazy.

I welcome any and all optinions and yes I am aware that there are bigger more real problems in the world today.

Thanks in advance.
