Chopard

 

 

Friends, I just have to share my bad feeling. It just happened that I scratched my rosegold Chrono One in a bad way: I hit the wall with the watch while moving and the upper part of the bezel got real bad scratches :-( :-(. The scratched part now looks no more polished but dull :-(

Is it hard to polish this again? I´m afraid that the whole case gets ruined then...
Sorry to bother you with this but perhaps someone can understand this feeling?

I heard many stories of people who have sent their watches in for repairs after bad
scratches and the watches came back looking brand new. Plus, I've only heard
good things about Chopard's customer service, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Keep us posted on the development.

can you send me a pic? Sorry to hear that.

And you could also go to the Boutique to enquire.

I know they have spot-welding machines in factory, probably could fill up with gold and then polished down.

It can be filled in, even RG. Maybe a simple polish will suffice.

This is the nightmare of everyone. We try to be as careful as possible... always turn your wrist when passing a wall or doorpost and have your watch covered by your sleeve etc... But when it happens ..bugger.  It happened also with me. You try keep it as new as possible, but the first scratch hurts.  I have a (luckily a very small) scratch on the case side now.  I always wear my watches with the risk that something might happen. I leave it like this. Its part of the watch now.

Good luck with your watch.

Thank you friends for your answers. Bon described very well, what I felt. You can´t helpt those scratches to happen,
but this one resp. these ones are worse then normal.
I took two photos but you can only guess the effect; it´s on the bezel around 2 o´clock. Sorry for the bad quality but with flash you can´t see anything of the scratch.

I´m happy to hear that even rose gold can be filled up. This might already be done by polishing. I will take it to the Boutique but am at the moment thinking if I live with it till the ordinary service in some years. Then I won´t bother other scratches as much...
