Scammed?

[bobw83]

Is there any way to hide scatches/blemishes on a watch temporarily? Might sound like a stupid question but I work in the car business and there are def ways to hide scatches/chips on a car long enough until the first time you wash it.

Think I may have been put together by someone I just found out is banned....

Pictures.

As far as I know, No but maybe plastic or tape.

I don't think anyone is going to scam you by selling you a scratched up watch. More likely you're not going to get a watch.

If you take a pic in the shade vs in sunlight or artificial light will definitely mask scratches

I'll upload pics tomorrow (will have to resize, pretty limited on the forums) the clasp looks like someones been wearing it for 10 yrs a week later.... when I first got it was mint. It's not scratched, it looks more worn... like rubbed on a surface over time. Maybe I'm crazy... The only reason I ask is: I don't know the answer. I know for a fact you can hide scratches on a car long enough for you to drive away happy... not to mention the seller is banned due to misrepresenting the condition of watches. Just looking for advice, not trying to stir up s**t

I mean if it was mint when you got it....I don't see how you could temporarily hide scratches?

Was this a gold watch or ?

Regardless, if they are normal surface scratches....get it polished if it worries you. No different than swirl marks on a car. Rub a brand new black car the wrong way with a rag the first day you take it home and it's going to show some scratches.

Probably has to do with lighting. Some of my bands look mint in certain lighting and then show wear in other lighting. You probably didnt look hard enough when you received the watch because you were excited.

When you own a used watch with many scratches (?)....a good polish job by an expert
who will use the right equipment will bring the physical condition near its former glory.
Also
A lose bracelet can be tightened, a heavy watch case ding/bite can also be repaired
