In the daily process of wearing a watch, we sometimes accidentally wear the watch by various things, which will produce a lot of scratches, which will make the watch obsolete and unsightly. In order to maintain the watch well, how do we remove these scratches?
Generally, there are two kinds of treatment processes for the scratches on the watch case, one is polishing, and the other is sanding. There is also a combination of both. The scratches on the watch case should be polished according to the original process. If the scratches are relatively large but shallow, they can be removed by a simple method. But if it is a deep scratch, it is more troublesome. Because no matter which method is used, such scratches cannot be completely removed.
Regardless of whether it is the case or the strap, we must first perform local treatments according to the position of the watch. For example, on the case side, we can carefully boring deep scratches slowly with a relatively small fine file under a magnifying glass level.
Then you need to take a small piece of sandpaper, and fold it in half, clamp it with a hemostatic forceps. In addition, you should pull the sand on the original pattern. If your watch is made of stainless steel, you should be careful not to rub it against it during operation. At this moment, we can use adhesive tape to cover the non-scratched areas. In terms of technology, when we operate, we must keeping all grind lines in the same direction, with the dial as the center, and in a radial pattern.
Therefore, the case and strap of the watch can be refurbished in this way. In fact, it is not difficult to repair the scratches on the watch, as long as you work hard, you will do it well. But sometimes, the polishing process requires a polishing machine, which ordinary people can't do. For a watch that is more complicated to repair, we must firstly do a sandblasting and then polishing. If there is a trimmed part, cover it. For instance, tape or metal template can be used to cover during polishing.
