How to repair a scratched watch?

Repairing scratched watches can be a DIY task you can try at home. While attempting to fix minor scratches with household items, it's crucial to note that some watches have special coatings or are made of materials that are prone to damage. Before starting the repair process, make sure you know the material of your watch and consult with the manufacturer or a professional if you have any doubts.

Materials:

  • Microfiber cloth
  • Fine cotton cloth
  • Polishing paste (with a lower abrasive index)
  • Specialized watch cleaner (optional)
  • Protective coating or wax (optional)

Procedure:

  1. Cleaning:

    • Clean the watch with a soft and clean microfiber or cotton cloth. Remove dust, dirt, and residues from the watch surface.

  2. Polishing:

    • Apply a small amount of polishing paste to a clean cotton cloth.
    • Gently rub the scratched areas in circular motions. Keep in mind that not every material is the same, and some watches may be sensitive to stronger abrasive substances.
    • Use with care and moderation to minimize the risk of further damage.

  3. Residue Cleaning:

    • Remove any remaining polishing paste or impurities with a clean microfiber or cotton cloth.

  4. Specialized Cleaners (optional):

    • If you have watches with a special coating or stainless steel, you can use specialized cleaners designed for the specific material. Follow the instructions on the packaging.

  5. Protective Coating or Wax (optional):

    • Apply a thin layer of protective coating or wax to protect the watch surface from future scratches.

  6. Final Checks:

    • Verify if all scratches are repaired, and ensure the watches are clean.

  7. Consultation with an Expert (if necessary):
