I have seen light scuff marks (not deep scratches) removed from vintage inserts with Cape Cod polishing cloth.

Looked great.

Yeah, normally the bezel insert costs 51 US $ plus a charge for fitting it.

I've been after replacing the bezel on my LV but I wanted to get the same one I have on, with the fat four. do you know if there is a chart with part numbers for the LV bezel too? That would be fantastic. Knowing my luck though, they probably have the same part number for all the different fours and different shades of green...
