Hello everyone,
I'm not sure it's right place to ask questions. I recently received as a gift used breitling Avenger Seawolf titanium, watches looks new however they have some scratches on the sapphire crystal and body. Is it possible to polish titanium body and sapphire and how much it may cost in breitling service ?

Thanks

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

Titanium isn't polished, but the surface can be restored - a lot of people use 'brillo' pads and do it themselves - use the search function here and you'll find quite a few threads.

The sapphire crystal is unlikely to be scratched - it's the second hardest substance after diamond, it's more likely to be the AR coating and that cannot be restored, only replacement of the entire crystal for a few hundred bucks. Again, there are quite a few threads on the topic.
