Amazing results Eddie!

is a pretty easy way to keep a polished case shiny. A brushed finish is achieved with a wheel and repairs/cleaning of same is not a DIY venture for the general masses. There are several ways to remove scratches from titanium, a pen eraser maybe being the handiest. A dremel with the appropriate buffs and rouge can be used on polished cases and is a step up from the Cape Cod but caution needs to be exercised.

Having said all that, any polishing will remove microscopic particles of the metal so restraint is encouraged. Use the least invasive method to start lest you go past the point of no return and take the edge off a lug or misshapen the case.

One train of thought is that minor scratches will occur if you wear your watch so don't obsess over them. When you have the need to return it for service, part of the procedure is a polish the case to like new specs, sometimes an endeavor best left to the pros.

Apologies for my naivety buy could you please verify that when a watch is returned from a Panerai service it will look "as good as new"?

I have sent Breitlings and Rolexs off for servicing in the past and you can hardly recognise the watch is your own. They literally are refinished as if they were brand new.

Do Panerai also do this? Even with satin finishes?

Thank You in advance for any response.

that does include polishing the case regardless of the finish. I can't remember if that is also included when a watch is returned for a warranty repair. If a dent is beyond polishing out they will offer to replace the case but that does come with a hefty fee.

Their procedure is to check with a customer and have all work authorized prior to initiating it. Everyone I have sent in has been returned in like new condition.

But gotta go easy with both - esp. the Cape Cod as there's nothing worse in my opinion than a case that's been over-polished or even a case that like it's been polished or touched up!

thanks for posting it.

Can you touch up PVD cases?
