Scratched New Pan

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!

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!

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.

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)

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.
