Paint job
I just side swiped my arm against a door and caught my baby on the bezel!
Was full of paint wiped it down and theres no scratches or dings! Thank god But theres some paint left in between the ceramic insert and the bezel above the 10 to 15 marker on bezel. Ive washed it and even tried to run a pin over a cloth but cant seem to get rest out?!? Any ideas? Thanks |

#1 Leave it there if the bezel isn't stuck. It will fall out over time
#2 cotton tip with terpentine and thin needle tip Personally I would leave it, as you will probably not get everything of unless you take it apart. |

If that is the worse your sub has, it must be very new. :)
I have a couple of plastic crystal watches (Speedmaster/vintage tudor) and eventually you just have to become ok with scratches as they both of mine have very visible scratches on the crystal. Scratches/Paint/dings/gouges/chips are all what make your watch, YOUR watch |

A toothbrush with hot water. Will do it for sure and not damage the watch in any way.
