How to remove Scratches from a Watch (Brush & Polish)

In this quick tutorial, I am showing you how to remove scratches from brushed as well as polished surfaces of a watch. With this easy and risk-free method, your watch will shine in no time.

I was paying £95 each for 4 watches every 6 months to get polished, I’ve just tried your method on one of my watches and it’s just as good as taking it to the shop, you have have just saved me £380 from this video…life saver 🙏🏼

I like that you are careful and precise in your methods. That's how one receives the best results. Some others on YouTube used the exact same materials, but they seemed to rush the process. Their results were not satisfactory in my opinion. Good job, Leonardo!

Best DIY/instructional video I’ve seen in awhile! Succinct, methodical, and straight-to-the-point… but more importantly honest. The sort that one can expect — and can’t expect anything less of — from a German.

From a former watch industry professional, fellow enthusiast, collector, and German as well!

The best video on youtube for amateurs, sponge for brushed and cape cod for polished surfaces, easy and effective 👍

I cannot believe how well the scotch-brite worked! Made the scratches from stubborn springbars almost completely unnoticable. Thanks for sharing!

Holy Cow, this works. I was so sad with my Omega SMP300 clasp being all scratched up by my laptop. Scotch brite has masked it up quite a bit.

Just tried this for the first time and am very happy with the results. Thanks for posting instructions!

What an amazing outcome for a beautiful watch. Always a pleasure to see amzwatch work your magic. Thanks for sharing this transformation with us!

Thanks for the tip, I managed to get a couple of scratches on the brushed side of my watch case from 320 emery paper I was using to smooth some sharp edges from a bracelet. Silly me, I didn't remove the bracelet first. Anyway just used the scotch pad on the watch and it is now almost perfect. I think I will do a little more when I have time as the pad is a little worn out, the scratches are not deep, so a new pad should finish the job. Thanks again!

Amazing how well the Brillo pad trick worked on my clasp, which I'd managed to get a weirdly broad zig-zag scratch after just a couple of weeks... it's not gone completely but it's no longer immediately noticeable. Thanks!

Here I was ready to invest in a rotary tool and sorts of attachments, but this $8 polish cloth is apparently all I need. Thank you!

Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite

[raihvr]

You helped me bring back life (read shine) to my fav watch after years of wearing it with this video...dropped my idea of buying a new watch.

FYI - Don’t press too hard with the cape cod polish cloth, the watch surface will probably get pitted…I managed to achieve this with my heavy handed polishing technique on my Rolex.

bruv this is exactly what ive searched for and needed.

Thanks for this. I’ve wanted a Tudor for quite some time now. The large blank surfaces of the thick housing of the Tudor really does get scratched. Not to take away anything from the watch, just something to consider.

[Fluffyfudge]

I just did this on my Tudor Bb bracelet, it got a lot better. Thank you!

A citizen came across my desk and I was impressed that with its scratches and imperfections it still maintained an attractive profile. Then a Movado came across my desk and I was very unimpressed with how dingy its appearance was although it was less worn than the citizen. I think the dominant colors play a big part. The citizen was a muted blue while the Movado was onyx black. That black shows a myriad of imperfections, and in a negative light.

[peebeecat]

So very helpful. I had no idea how filthy my wife's watch was before following your instructions. It now looks like new, thank you so much for saving me money on a professional clean.

There's no way to avoid scratches on a watch, especially one that's worn daily. I just let the scratches accumulate and after some time, the multiple scratches are all well-distributed throughout the entire watch, forming its own unique "finish".
