So I was disassembling the Seiko 6349 movement to clean it and oil it and noticed this jewel looks to be in bad shape.

I haven't cleaned this bridge yet, but this jewel looks nasty. Could this just be oil residues? Or it's really scratched? By what?

Not sure if it's just the photo but it's looks like there's a gear embedded in it?

It's the photo. It's actually the lamp of my scope you're referring to. 😄

Yes shine a bright light - maybe a flashlight/torch underneath the bridge it will make the jewel looked x-rayed….

Extrapolating from your two pictures I’d say the jewel is fine and were looking at reflections of the overhead lamp…
