How to fix scratch

[Woody284]

Hey I jus got a scratch on the SS bezel next to crystal by the 7'oclock. How can I fix it. It's not deep but it's close to crystal

It's between 6 'o'clock and 7'oclock

Get CapeCod Polishing Cloth it's a deep scratch. Or SunShine Polishing Cloth.

Mask off the area you don't want to touh (mask the crystal if it has AR, the chemicals in the cloth will ruin the AR upon contact).

Cut the cloth into smaller piece, use toothpick or Q Tip or whatever comfortable and work it off.

Does it tarnish the stainless steel?

Remove the crystal, use sand paper and sand it until the deep scratch gone. After sand it, the surface will become dull and brush finishing. So to make it look shiny, u need either cape cod or anything that polish metal. Based on my experience..

I prefer this stuff to CapeCod [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Simichrome-Metal-Polish/dp/B00BSJYQ9S"]Amazon.com: Simichrome Metal Polish: Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51qri4clOwL.@@AMEPARAM@@51qri4clOwL[/ame]
But I would just leave that scratch alone for now, I don't buff every little scratch right away from my watches, if I buff every time it gets one the case will lose it's shape in no time. I let it collect a bunch of marks and give it a good treatment once in a while, feels a lot better too.

Sometimes you learn to live with them. I'm ridiculously anal about my watches. I would try the Cape Cod. I have some heavy polishes that I use when I do my work. But it's always tricky.

Yea that's what I'm afraid of. The trickyness. Only at certain angles and lighting you can see it. I might justly it go

I used with success the rubbed nail polish

i just used cooktop cleaner to dust off my 177 titanium. but it doesnt take out scratches, does take off all the dirt. i am cool with scratches and dings, the first one sucks but as you get more it sorta adds to the character of the watch.

Can you be more detail why you prefer this than capecod ?
Isnt capecod supposed to be easier than this cream based solution?
My experience with "autosol" a creamy metal polish product similar to yours, is that the cream goes everywhere to watch creases and crystal fittings etc it would not be so easy to clean....
