Which Bergeon Scratch remover pen for Tudor?

I have pretty bad lug scratches on my black bay 58 and was wondering which scratch pen to get. I've done some research and it seems that the go to pen is the bergeon 2834. However, they have different models with -c or -L behind.

Wish to get some advice on which one would suit my needs. Thanks!

I would save my money and avoid disappointment with the results.

A scratch pen will not remove bad lug scratches nor will it easily match an existing OEM brushed finish.

I was in the same camp, but I have the Bergeron block fine and it’s great. A very close of not expect brush pattern as factory

Hm, the only problem with the block is that it is big and I suppose quite difficult to do for the lug areas.

Have to agree the only time any Rolex or Tudor needs any sort of refinishing is a normal routine service only by the ones who have the proper tools and skills to do it correctly..

If by scratches on lugs you meant something like this my suggestion is don't. Without the proper tools and skills/experience you'll only make things worse.

With a Bergeon block I am confident and comfortable to re-brush a clasp, bracelet links and perhaps case side. But there's no way I'd attempt the lugs. Lapping machine is the only way that's gonna be refinished to factory standard.

It's a watch, wear it.

A Bergeon Scratch remover pen is a tool used by the obsessive-compulsive to ruin their watches.

A Bergeon Scratch remover pen has its place (tidying up a watch to sell for example), but using one regularly is a recipe for disaster.
