I’d recommend having Patek polish just the bezel. But it would HAVE to be Patek, I wouldn’t let anyone else touch it.

Oh that's not good at all. Getting smashed by an MK--not cool.

Nice fix by PP

GB-man · 22 July 2018, 01:51 AM

Good result for a quick fix.

Humble michael · 22 July 2018, 04:48 AM

But please tell us -what did they do ?? Did they do it while you waited or at least in a few days ? Tks

My watchmaker told me this is what they use to fix the blemish or scratch on the brushed bezel..... "Bergeon 6240 Scratch Brush Fiberglass"....

Thanks, I've seen those used before and suspect that's what was used in OP's case. Magic brushes in skilled hands.

Amazing fix from the PP guys. Wouldn’t have thought a spot repair like that was feasible. Thanks for posting your experience.

Who wants to be the first one to try this on their own ...?

Many years ago I gently tried it on the bezel of my 3710 ... disaster ~ fixed at its first service.

tchaic · 22 July 2018, 10:19 AM

Looks great. Nice work! The first scratch or ding is the hardest. Once you have 100 it adds character.

Humble michael · 22 July 2018, 10:53 AM

Wow Interesting! I have a Bergeon #2834-C . Stretch brush with pencil shaped holder , of drawn glass. I wonder if I could carefully use it on a similar scar to yours on my 5167 R or my 5726? Scared too now after PatekSF’s post. Never have tried this pencil.

Humble michael · 22 July 2018, 10:53 AM

Whoops I mean Scratch brush

incontrol · 22 July 2018, 11:18 AM

Amazing! It is great to know they can make this kind of repair so quickly. It looks like new!

Wow. Amazing work. Glad you got it sorted. I'm sure you're a happy man now.

Wow, good as new! This may be great for an AP bezel as well.

Great sign of relief. Any visual difference on the surface?

Carry The Interest · 24 July 2018, 04:44 AM

Looks great now. Glad to hear they were able to fix it without you needing to send it in for a proper servicing.
