Pohoho 0 Posted June 14, 2011 It's unfortunate that my watch suffer a little scratch but thankfully not too deep or visible. It's marked with a red arrow in this photo: Is there some super fine sandpaper that can be used to polish it off? Anyone can share your success story in removing such scratches. I really want to get rid of this blemish. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted June 14, 2011 Cape Cod cloth mate. It looks light enough for that to do the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pohoho 0 Posted June 18, 2011 Thanks TrailBoss. During polishing, do I work hard at the scratch or do I go around the bezel to give an "even" look? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeMcNair 0 Posted June 19, 2011 depending upon the depth cape cod may work, but if i were to do it i would remove the bezel and use a polishing pad on a dremel. personally, i do not like the polished bezels, so I WOULD actually take the scouring pad i have and brush the whole bezel, which in turn would remove the scratch. like i did here (in fact, this WHOLE watch was polished when i got it....) when i got it.......... 15 minutes AFTER i opened the box it came in..........

Ska 11 Posted June 19, 2011 I think we can assume that the OP would like to keep the watch true to the original finish, so therefore Cape Cod is going to be the most straightforward and effective way of removing that scratch. Its also by far the easiest and cheapest way too. Technique wise, you want to evenly polish the surface extending roughly 1.5cm either side of the scratch. This will ensure that you don't cause ripples or unevenness in the surface of the bezel. Keep at it with the Cape Cod periodically wiping off the residue to check your work. When you're satisfied that the scratch has been removed, leave the last lot of residue on the bezel and buff it off with a lint free cloth. The result should be 100% professional looking.

Pohoho 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks Guys for the inputs. Now I feel more confident to tackle this. The brushed look is quite an attractive option too, saves much headaches and muscle aches in the future and gives it a titanium look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can get the polish in a walmart in automotive section. jbalams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
