Hi from Sydney, Australia

Just new to this forum as i just purchased my dream watch the Submariner 116610LN at the beginning of the month. Just love the watch and can't stop wearing it. Now i want a Panerai maybe a Pam 111 or 177.
Was also wondering if anyone can help as i got quite a big scratch on the clasp and was wondering what the best way to get rid of it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys for your quick responses, already loving the forum. thanks heaps Rob as the thread is exactly what i was hoping for. I'm still tossing up on whether to get it done professionally or DIY. Love my watch but everytime i see the clasp my heart skips a beat. Oh well, I guess there will prob be many more scratches over the years to come...

Welcome Jimmy. Scratch can be removed by Scotch-Brite you just have to rub it on the same direction of the original mat finish and must not rub on the side where the polished part is.
