AP Royal Oak Offshore Bezel Scratches
Hello All,
I have an AP Royal Oak Offshore Themes (Black dial) and was in a bit of an accident recently. As a result of which, the Bezel on the AP has a few, very noticeable scratches on it, mainly on the right side. They are also quite close to the WG Screws.
Sending it away to the dealer, isn't really an option for me. Is there anything I could do? OR have any of you experienced similar?
Thank you
Ap

Keep wearing it
It's going to happen again, and again. And it happens with other watches too. You might as well wear it and enjoy it - battle scars and all - until it's ready for a service back at AP.

Only one option
Really only one option, sevice center in clearwater florida for a polish. I wouldn't do it myself. Trust me, i've been there.
Try!
If the scratches are on brushed surfaces, and it is light enough--not major dints or scars, you could try using a pen rubber eraser. Rub it the exact direction of the original brushed lines. I've had success with few of my ROO pieces--Ti, steel and RG. Fo...
Vacation in Clearwater
I suspect the delay is because your watch arrived at one of the two worst times of year: Xmas and August, when the facility (and many of those in Switzerland, I hear) are closed.
Leave it to the pro's for refinishing
Hi areez, IMO, just enjoy the watch as no matter what happens you will always get little dings and scratches. Best to have your AD send it to AP Service Center (ie Clearwater if you're in the U.S.). The sharp angles and alternating brush and polished fini...
