RedM Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Try a watch repair place. I'm sure you could Google one by area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 If its not to deep a watch repairers should be able to polish it out i would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to get this repaired? Depends on the watch and what the crystals made of Imi ? A good watch repair shop will get a fairly light to medium scratch out, but some watches have an anti-glare treatment on the glass...you may get rid of the scratch, at the expense of losing this.

imi Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks for your replies guys, reassuring that there is a chance that it can be repaired, will take it down to a watch repairer for some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I have the same problem and went to a watch repair shop and he said no chance. They tend to do mechanical and electrical repairs, not polishing. He recommended that I go to an opticians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Theres watch repairers, then theres watch repairers. Ring round a few first. I'd recommend someone like Goldsmiths. http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/repairsservice.asp?a=null&coid=12 If your watch is say, a dress watch with a domed crystal, it may be possible to polish the crystal in situ. If the watch has a bezel, the crystal should be taken out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 He means these That's strange, when I looked at your post there weren't any pics either, just little red crosses. When I reinserted the url of the images from the original source your pics reappeared too. Probably nothing wrong with the original url.

Branners Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just pop up to Hatton Garden and walk in to a few of the jewellers there and see what they can do. Hatton Garden is jewellery shops all the way along, must be 40 shops or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
