Do you Know how to Fix a Scratch on a Titanium Watch?

Titanium is a hard metal – harder than steel, in fact – but you may have read about titanium’s tendency to leave marks. How can this be the case? It’s all because titanium, like bronze, forms an oxide layer when exposed to air. It is similar to the patina that forms on a bronze surface, except in this case it gives the metal an attractive matte finish that is darker than the original metal.
As oxidation forms, fingerprints and greasy marks can easily appear when you first take your watch apart, which will result in an uneven surface. We recommend leaving your new titanium watch for a few days after taking it apart to prevent this. This oxidized surface will then be rubbed off whenever your replica watch comes into contact with another hard object, leaving a shiny, very visible scratch.
The good news is that it is possible to remove this surface scratch and refinish your titanium watch case. Deeper scratches will need to be filled by a professional, but it’s straightforward to buff out titanium scratches with some inexpensive equipment.
After a doorknob incident, I picked up a rather nasty-looking scratch on my Spinnaker Tesei Titanium watch. As mentioned above, it wasn’t as bad as it looked, so I decided to try to treat it myself.
The first thing to do was to “rub” the scratch out with a fiberglass pen. Rub the titanium scratch pen along with the brushed pattern on the case, gently removing a thin layer of metal around the scratch so it’s not as visible. This is hard work, but patience will do wonders.
Take your time and the metal will eventually flatten out as long as the scratches are not too deep. Once that is done, take some time to polish the area around the scratch with a titanium finishing pad. Again, follow the lines of the brush on the case, as this pad is meant to leave tiny scratches on the metal. This will cover up any remaining scratches.
Once this is done, you will need to wipe off the dust with a dry kitchen towel and leave the fake Rolex watch for a while to get more oxidation. You are requested to find that the scratches are less visible – on my watch, you can see that there is a deeper scratch still visible (although it is now starting to fade), but the scratch across the middle part of the end link is completely gone.
