Detail of Marking
Thanks for some of the suggestions. I will bring it back to boutique today & see how to get this blemish off. Real annoying. It's not a dent, looks like I lightly scraped against something stronger than Ti.
I might have to use the plastic watch cover when I wear this out out, to prevent being knocked & marked. Better stick with Stainless Steel Pam...
BR, Ian.
After buffed it with a polishing cloth
Titanium easily marked
One of my Titanium Panerai got a tiny but noticeable mark on the dial rim. Does anyone know if that can be buffed or removed if I bring it back to Panerai Boutique? It's annoying and will not be buying Titanium watches unless necessary. BR, Ian
a scratch or a dent ?
a dent is something you won't be able to fix yourself A scratch is no problem (if not too deep ofcourse) Titanium ? In that case it is probably brushed, well use such a sponge don't start rubbing like a fool ;-) do it with patience and it will work, ofcou...
If it was polished titanium, it would be grade 5 Ti....
...which is harder than steel and quite scratch resistant. I doubt you can use Cape Cod cloth on that. Only grade 5 Ti can support a polished surface. If watch is made with Ti and is finished in brushed surfaces all over, then it is likely to be made with...
it may well be a scratch on the oxide layer
that forms on all ti watches. if so, the ti itself is not scratched......... can you take a pic?

If you are cautious
and you dare .. that sponge I showed can fix this. It is not a big or deep scratch, and definitely not a dent.
not a dent IMHO
have read on some panerai forums that you very carefully use an eraser for ink and gently rub in one direction to remove scuff mark.Cheers.
Eraser Does the Job
Thanks to all & to dreamer8, the eraser worked, slowly with an eraser for ink, it removed the mark. I have a polishing cloth and removed 95% of the mark. You have probably saved me thousands taking it back to boutique. I know watches get wear & tear, but ...
Titanium is an extremely easy material to keep clean...
You'll love it, now that the eraser thing works for you.=))
don't use the plastic cover...
It will just look ridiculous. The scratch looks like it's just removed some of the oxidised surface. In a few short weeks it will return to the same sheen as the rest of the watch. I have a titanium oris that's been pretty banged up and it goes back to al...
When you bang a watch.....
normally, something....not nice....happens to it. So, now you've got a watch with a ding on it. So what, why is that a big deal? What happened to wear and tear? Why should one deprive oneself of the pleasure of wearing something one likes, only because it...
