Cleaning a Patek

Hi everyone, I'm new here and had just a question for the veterans.

I have a Patek 5726/1A and well I'm gonna be blunt I didn't treat it nicely... I mean i scratched quite a lot, probably because i wear my watches on the right, and needless to say ever since I bought the patek I didn't go a day without wearing it, the watch is just incredible and I love looking at it, I didn't want to polish it so quickly because it hasn't even been a year yet.

So basically is there any product or something that you guys use that I could use to clean the watch and make the scratches less evident?

Thank you in Advance!

Aah I guess it was just wishful thinking


The first picture is the last one I took of the watch. The last one is just a couple days ago I lent it to my sister

As you can see it's pretty worn out!

The only thing worn out is those jeans!
She’d be better off with a new pair rather than being loaned your watch – go on, treat her.
Your 5726 is fine and will be for quite a while yet.

Do not polish the watch at this point. It looks fine. Give us some close up pictures of the things you think are a problem on the bezel or elsewhere. Beautiful piece. Invest in a new pair of jeans. Ha ha.

Massages?
You’re in the wrong place for that – it’s strictly "look but don’t touch" here!
Well…I don’t know what exactly happens at these GTGs, so I could be wrong.
