Question: Fixing Scratches on Watch Face? Show Stella January 19, 2017 Does anyone have any tips for getting scratches out of a watch face? I just got a new watch last month and I just today I noticed I have scratch right in the middle of my watch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. AnswersHello January 19, 20172 found this helpful Best Answer I found this video, that utilizes regular toothpaste to buff the face of the watch, then he wipes it with a glasses cleaning rag, many times. youtu.be/4Cl6XgFju38 This other tutorial discusses the matter at length, and agrees re. toothpaste above, but elaborates: " The most commonly endorsed polishing agents are Polywatch, Brasso, Displex and toothpaste. The process consists of (1) covering up the bezel with tape, so as not to damage it during polishing; and (2) using a soft polishing rag (or something similar), to work a small amount of your chosen substance into the scratch in a circular motion. In general, it should take a couple of minutes to get rid of the scratches, as long as theyre not too deep.

If you are not getting good results, take it to a professional to fix. January 19, 20170 found this helpful Is in on the face of the watch itself or on the crystal (clear plastic or glass covering)?? If it is on the crystal covering, and its plastic, it probably won't buff out. If it is glass, use a toothpaste or take it to a jewerly store that does repairs. Years ago in college I worked at one and we used to puff them for around $3. cybergrannie January 19, 20170 found this helpful You do not mention the cost of the watch but in any case - I would recommend taking the watch back to the store to see if they may be able to help you - you may be surprised and actually get the crystal replaced - either free or "cheap". Or maybe ask advice of a watch or jewelry repair service as most of the home remedies will only work on very minor scratches. HerkDia January 20, 20170 found this helpful Best thing is to take it to a jeweler and let them buff out the scratch professionally. January 22, 20170 found this helpful Try white toothpaste first to buff out the scratch. If it doesn't work, just take it to a watch repair jeweler. November 24, 20170 found this helpful this method is for poly/plastic watch faces-not mineral crystal or GLASS-would take a pretty long time to remove scratches from glass with toothpaste if it ever works-hence the poly cleaning stuff mentioned, brasso is light abrasive again works great on swatches or old watches featuring (perspex)-glass the best method-replace the glass, thats why you can buy saphire glass as its more scratch resistant. May 16, 20180 found this helpful Actually if it is plastic you have a greater chance of removing scratches with white rouge and a high speed spindle buffing wheel. The high rpm and the compound create heat that almost melts the plastic and fills in the gouge. If its glass, replacement is a more realistic solution. Just a thought. I would talk to a windshield repair service that seals cracked tempered glass with an undetectable substance. If those repairs werent perfect you could be cited by law enforcement for obstruction of vision. Toothpaste is not realistic as a compound for glass polishing. It wont polish teeth. You can use a steel razor blade to scrape glass without scratching glass.
