Hi Rolex,

A big welcome to TRF. You'd be looking around the $1,000+ range. Sorry this had to happen to your beautiful DJ.

A couple of pics should prove interesting if you could oblige.

Thanks - JJ

Where are you located in California? Depending on the depth of the scratch the RSC in Beverly Hills might be able to cosmetically repair without a complete replacement. Remember 18k gold is a fairly soft metal. Proper tools and talent can do wonders.

If it's just superficial, then yes the gold can be buffed. If it's too deep, then we do have a problem.

That's why I requested some pics of the bezel for us to have some idea of the intensity of the damage.
