Scratched New Pan
 
1 Attachment(s)
I know that with life comes scratches. Problem is that I've had my new Pan for less than a month. When I took it off last night I noticed a healthy scratch on the side casing. Now every time I look down at my watch, the scratch screams at me. Any suggestions on how to repair the scratch, or at least quiet it down?

I feel your pain bud! On titanium, just using a simple eraser can smooth out a scratch, not sure if it would help.on ss... embrace your scratches though, they give your watch character!

I feel your pain, the first is always the worst. Sorry I cannot offer any advice on how to fix

Wear it like a champ .. Then have it professionally brushed an year down the road .. Costs less than 200

After I got my first the second hurt a lot less, I don't care anymore about scratches I just wear it and enjoy it

fix that one more will come, only solution would be a display case, and that's not nice.

Scotch bright pad.

Titanium scratch remover pen. This is a pen that has multiple abrasive fibers.
Just rub the pen in one direction over the scratch to blend with the already brushed finish of the case.

Ebay sells them about $10-$15 U.S>

It works like magic! :thumbsup:

Patience and a Pink Eraser

Patience and a pink eraser did a great job on scratch. It did not get rid of the scratch completely, but you have to look a lot harder to see anything. Perhaps because I know it's there. Thanks for the advice.

Nicely repaired! Enjoy!

Nicely done! I may have to try that on my Breitling Aerospace too.

Now this is a real "Stratched New Pan."

Kidding aside. Really nice repair job. Just a pink eraser!

Wish it would work on this "pan."

Nope. No pen for shiny cases. Requires a polish either Flitz Metal polish, Simichrome, or possably Cape Cod Cloth (CC for very "minor" Scratches):thumbsup:

The scratch is barely visible..just compare the pics and you will notice that there is no such thing as the scratch as the watch.
