How to remove a scratch?

[Enzo954]

I have this pretty cool Ball Watch that I bought about a decade ago and kind of forgot about it. I noticed it has a fairly noticeable vertical scratch on the band in between the lugs. It doesn't feel deep at all. Is there a way I can remove this at home without making things worse?

Making things worse is generally a question of your own talents.

I would use a fiber pencil for this and would likely need to blend the entire link.

That is called an 'honest scratch' and you should just leave it alone.
Also, Ball makes a fabulous watch. Everybody should own at least one.

Yup just leave it as it. Adds character IMO

Did you end up trying to remove the scratch? If so, what did you end up trying?

I actually ended up selling it as is. It wasn't getting any wrist time and the tritium gas tubes that glow lost about 50% of their brightness over the course of ownership. The money will go towards an upgrade.

Thats an easy way to remove scratches! Interesting the gas tubes lost their luminescence.

Tritium has a half life of 12.5 yrs +/-. It looks amazing for a while but once it starts dimming it loses it's pop in low light. Figured I'd get what I could before it got any worse.
