How to remove Scratches from a Watch (Brush & Polish)

[@leecain8590]

I was paying £95 each for 4 watches every 6 months to get polished, I’ve just tried your method on one of my watches and it’s just as good as taking it to the shop, you have have just saved me £380 from this video…life saver 🙏🏼

Best DIY/instructional video I’ve seen in awhile! Succinct, methodical, and straight-to-the-point… but more importantly honest. The sort that one can expect - and can’t expect anything less of - from a German. From a former watch industry professional, fellow enthusiast, collector, and German as well!

I like that you are careful and precise in your methods. That's how one receives the best results. Some others on KZbin used the exact same materials, but they seemed to rush the process. Their results were not satisfactory in my opinion. Good job, Leonardo!

I cannot believe how well the scotch-brite worked! Made the scratches from stubborn springbars almost completely unnoticable. Thanks for sharing!

Holy Cow, this works. I was so sad with my Omega SMP300 clasp being all scratched up by my laptop. Scotch brite has masked it up quite a bit.

[@raihvr]

You helped me bring back life (read shine) to my fav watch after years of wearing it with this video...dropped my idea of buying a new watch.

[@brianmsahin]

Thanks for the tip, I managed to get a couple of scratches on the brushed side of my watch case from 320 emery paper I was using to smooth some sharp edges from a bracelet. Silly me, I didn't remove the bracelet first. Anyway just used the scotch pad on the watch and it is now almost perfect. I think I will do a little more when I have time as the pad is a little worn out, the scratches are not deep, so a new pad should finish the job. Thanks again!

[@Bluenblack17]

I have my new Longines Conquest two weeks now. I found one scratch on the bezel… now I’m watching these videos

Thank you for the video! I bought a used Seiko Alpinist with many light scratches on the bracelet and thanks to your video, made the bracelet look like new!

Amazing how well the Brillo pad trick worked on my clasp, which I'd managed to get a weirdly broad zig-zag scratch after just a couple of weeks... it's not gone completely but it's no longer immediately noticeable. Thanks!

Not a Brillo pad this was a scotch brite pad the green one, not the blue ones

After a couple of weeks? Did you have to polish it like a prisoner using a file to get through metal bars?

I had a prettyu noticeble dent and scretch on my iPhone 15 Pro Natural Titanium, I used a sand paper 1000 and 2000 to remove the dent and scretch and after I completely removed it, I used your technique to bring back the matte/satin effect, as the sandpaper made the frame shiny, now my iPhone looks like new!

I tried the sponge method and the polished part of my bracelet became brushed 🤣 but it did help remove some nasty scratches, good video!

[@bunyaadi]

I decided to have a go at improving the appearance of my watches. Which in one case is supposed to be scratch resistant but the actual folding clasp cover has developed small scratches. Although I do have a watch care kit. .just want to do it proper

Good job! Although "close the crown" made me laugh a bit. I love watches and collect them. It's good you make this for everybody. It was really helpful.

[@bruceketta856]

Great video! I was thinking about buying my first vintage watch but I wanted to know how hard it is to polish and brush them. Seems like it's actually really easy! Even if I don't end up buying a vintage watch, I might still use this method on my current watch :).

[@HaIsKuL]

Thanks for this. I’ve wanted a Tudor for quite some time now. The large blank surfaces of the thick housing of the Tudor really does get scratched. Not to take away anything from the watch, just something to consider.

[@SkuttleBug1974]

I bought my tudor on eBay with a pretty deep scratch on the polished steel and used the Cape Cod cloth and it took it out after about three minutes. The watch was about $500 cheaper due to the scratch. Worked great.

[@brejaimecastillo8851]

Thank you !! I am soon to recieve a gently used Longines, that will require some TLC. This will help!!

[@OliverDuxbury1996]

This worked perfectly on my Seiko, thank you

[@KathernClary]

Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from MAMACOO I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.

[@Watchugoton]

Great video firstly and even though I’m a Tudor collector I have many other watches old and new but I think steinhart is a great watch for the price point. I have the Pepsi ocean gmt, Titanium gmt and ocean one vintage gmt with all of them being great time keepers. Only trouble I had was the Pepsi bezel is stiff to start but I promise it will free up having sent one back and having paid import duties twice. Another great brand is axios and zelos, phoibos and mmi watches to name a few micro brands. Keep collecting people and keep videos coming 👌🏻👍🏻

[@coffenback]

Awesome video. Cheap hacks to polishing your brushed/polished watches.

[@satoshiblack1046]

It's a shame this didn't contain the bezel also which is the area I need to restore, but one of the best videos I've seen so far

[@davidqheffner]

Maybe you can purchase a replacement bezel that is made of ceramic.

[@Scottsguards]

I am a watch collector that ended up going to watchmaker school. My advice- if they are "desk diver" marks from daily wear, don't worry too much. If you are selling it, send it to a professional.

[@rzllin]

I have the best effect using the metal scrub(new) for scorched pans. It’s fine and put it in my drill for a continues rotation while finishing my bracelet ( Tudor Pelagos Ti). Perfect effect.

[@sittingyak]

A citizen came across my desk and I was impressed that with its scratches and imperfections it still maintained an attractive profile. Then a Movado came across my desk and I was very unimpressed with how dingy its appearance was although it was less worn than the citizen. I think the dominant colors play a big part. The citizen was a muted blue while the Movado was onyx black. That black shows a myriad of imperfections, and in a negative light.

[@nitehawk4067]

Titanium watches suffer more from scratches , but i managed to clean most of the scratches. Thank you.

[@walrus-splice-renewable]

Yeah, my apple watch ultra is already scratched in four places 😬

[@baze3SC]

Titanium forms a natural oxide layer. It's a softer metal that scratches more easily but micro scratches will be less visible once that layer forms. No point in polishing the watch repeatedly, those hairline scratches are unavoidable and it destroys the vintage value of the watch (if it's a valuable piece).

[@msbrownbeast]

That all depends on the watch brand. Some manufacturers (e.g. Citizen) treat their titanium cases with a very hard coating that is highly resistant to scratches. Or other brands that may use a special titanium alloy for extra hardness.

[@PETERJOHN101]

I have a titanium watch and it's why I stay away from them now. They look dull compared to SS and I just don't see the upside.

[@greatonreviews]

Good Job, looks awesome ❤❤❤ Subcrived! All the best 😊

[@dakotaxu4792]

I used a similar cloth called the rouge polishing cloth on my 18k gold Rolex watch and removed all the fine scratches and scuff marks from the shiny surfaces of the bracelet and the sides of the watch case.. Fortunately the brushed parts were in mint condition. The rouge cloth has one part for removing the scratches and the other part for buffing the surfaces to a fine shine. The entire watch looks brand new. However for best results I recommend using the cloth in one direction and not back and forth. If you do it this way each and every scratch will be removed.

[@thelazylad812]

Thank you so much for this very precise instructional video! More power to your channel! 😊

[@enterthebruce91]

I made mistake of using a polishing cloth on my brushed links on my seiko 5kx and it actually stripped off a layer of stainless steel. I will never make that mistake again and I will only ever use a polishing cloth on polished surface (e.g on polished centre links) and I'll be sure to use a more abrasive cloth on the brushed surfaces. It was such a rookie mistake because it was my first time ever polishing a watch so I had no idea I shouldn't have used a polishing cloth to remove scratches from brushed surfaces/links. Thankfully the damage done wasn't catastrophic but you can see black lines underneath the steel from where some layers were stripped away from the effects of the polishing cloth. Lesson learned the hard way!

[@danielmelendez9943]

Excellent video, very quick, simple and effective way to get the job done! Awesome and thank U!

[@McGMcGMcG]

FYI - Don’t press too hard with the cape cod polish cloth, the watch surface will probably get pitted…I managed to achieve this with my heavy handed polishing technique on my Rolex.

[@msbrownbeast]

There's no way to avoid scratches on a watch, especially one that's worn daily. I just let the scratches accumulate and after some time, the multiple scratches are all well-distributed throughout the entire watch, forming its own unique "finish".

[@HollyW00d81]

@@barbogarin You need to make sure you are brushing in only one direction each time for the stainless steel brushed portions. If you notice, brushed steel has lines in it brand new. You can get this look back but need to make sure you keep the bracelet stationary and follow the same direction.

I've been using this product since i was a kid. For watches, my own Black Bay that i will never sell. I use this but in the lightest manner. I'm not worried about dents or major scratches, those are it's character. But the clasp which is something i will eventually replace anyways. I use this. I don't use it on my case. My Tudor/Rolex dealer has let me know that they can do it if i want, but i just leave the case alone

the green stuff does work on stainless. add water if you want to make it even better result.... all the reason why buy stainless rather than 2 tone or gold or black. for those colored ones, once stretched, you are done for.
