hello guys,

can i fix this little scratch without buffing much metal

dddrees · 26 February 2012, 09:33 AM

Doesn't look that bad, I can hardly see it. I wouldn't worry about it.

Looks like they should be able to take care of it pretty easy at service time.

+1. its just a love bite.

z32turbo · 26 February 2012, 09:35 AM

I'd leave it alone as well.

boogiebot · 26 February 2012, 09:35 AM

im pretty sure that when you service it that it will look brand new. dont worry too much about it. i know how you feel though cuz im a freak about dings.

Kingair · 26 February 2012, 09:37 AM

We'll if you share my luck in life it will be fixed and probably 10 minutes after wearing it I have the same small scratch somewhere else . . . :-(

GEO_79 · 26 February 2012, 09:38 AM

where is the scratch?

GradyPhilpott · 26 February 2012, 09:40 AM

I wouldn't give that a second thought and I sure would have the watch buffed out because of that.

I'll probably never have any of my watches buffed, for that matter.

azguy · 26 February 2012, 09:42 AM

That's nothing

kilyung · 26 February 2012, 09:52 AM

Just send it to Jocke, he'll hammer it out!

Looks like a very small "normal" ding, I wouldn't worry about the metal being damaged or too used while buffing it out!

sleddog · 26 February 2012, 09:55 AM

Leave it....You'll have many more by the time it's ready for a service!!!

After that, she'll be returned like new, ready for you to do it all over again!!

gwalker · 26 February 2012, 10:02 AM

If you send to RSC to service it's going to get buffed as part of normal service. It will come back looking new. If you don't need a service leave it until then. These watches can be buffed many times and if done correctly a very, very small amount of metal will be removed. I've seen watches sent to Rolex 6,7 or more times and they look great (some still looked pretty old bc the owners didn't want many parts replaced.) Can't even tell. When I sent my DSSD off and got it back it looked new. All hairline scratches were gone. The corners were still as sharp as the day I got it.

Rags · 26 February 2012, 10:17 AM

Leave it alone..it's nothing...

bigwatchman · 26 February 2012, 10:34 AM

Seriously?

RRGHOST1 · 26 February 2012, 10:39 AM

I would do nothing too,its hardly noticeable,i wouldn't worry about it.

mjclark32 · 26 February 2012, 10:41 AM

What scratch?

MortgageGuy · 26 February 2012, 11:17 AM

Wear and Enjoy a simple polish will take care of that and all the others when that time rolls around

VAWATCHGUY · 26 February 2012, 11:23 AM

If you do decide to fix it, you better put it away in a safe and never wear it again.

Time2time · 26 February 2012, 04:27 PM

Don't bother. You'll get plenty more.
Leave it till service time.

dcash0615 · 26 February 2012, 04:38 PM

Wear and enjoy. Don't worry about it as it is very insignificant. RSC can polish it out when you send in for service. You are going to get many more between now and then.

rockyn · 26 February 2012, 04:40 PM

That is soooooo minor. It's nothing.....don't worry about it, just wear and enjoy your watch.

general · 26 February 2012, 04:43 PM

wouldn't touch it if I were you.

Timber Loftis · 26 February 2012, 05:14 PM

I'm of a mind akin with Tow Mater about my scratches. I hope other parents get the reference.

Z-Sub · 26 February 2012, 05:16 PM

likely it'll be taken care of. BTW it's tiny so don't worry now

Adam K. · 26 February 2012, 08:28 PM

That's nothing. Leave 'er be.

esm · 26 February 2012, 08:32 PM

Looks more like a small dent rather than a scratch.
I'd leave it until the service.

oneillba · 27 February 2012, 12:09 PM

No problem, first you find a rasp! LOL...

handsfull · 27 February 2012, 01:24 PM

I'm a scratch fanatic.....and I have to say...that ding is (on scale of 1 to 10 - 10 the worst) a 2.

Daniel Tan · 27 February 2012, 07:21 PM

I wonder How u get this small dent?
