This time I've included pictures of the scratches I was asking about in an earlier post. You can see them in the top part of the picture above the clasp. They are not the greatest pictures, but I think they are good enough for you to get an idea. If not, and better pictures are required let me know.

Are these repairable, and if so is this what I would use the scotch brite pad on? Or can someone please explain to me how these can be fixed? Thanks in advance!

Have a great holiday weekend everyone!

As explained in your other post, yes, Scotchbrite pads will clean these up. As you were told there just go with the 'grain' and you'll be fine.

Thanks!

I'll probably practice on an old watch first.

Thanks guys! It makes me feel better to know they can easily be removed. They don't bother me, but I've only had the PO for a month and a half. Granted, I've worn it every day since, and hate taking it off, but it's still good to know they can be taken care of. Especially as their will inevitably be more marks to come. Have a great weekend!

Dry, green scotchbrite. Works like a charm.

Yeah and NOT the one sitting in the kitchen sink! A fresh one, cut a 1"x1" square. In my experience, Omega bracelets clean up well.


SHORT, STRAIGHT STROKES. USE LIGHTER PRESSURE TO START UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

Thanks for the advice. I have some older watches that I'll practice on before I attempt anything on my PO. I love this watch!!
