I think it can be polished, but I wont do it as you will get plenty of em if you use the watch regularly.

Also, ONLY get your AP refinished at Service Center. One tip: If the watch is less than 2 years old you can wait to polish it when you send it for the 3rd year warranty extension, that way is really affordable to polish it, as the rest of the service is included so will only charge for the polish.

Keep in mind that AP only recommends to polish a ROO case like 3 or 4 times (depending) in his lifetime (because the sharp edges) so think twice about send it.

thank you for the information. in this picture the long scratch doesnt looks horrible enough like what i see from my email, maybe because of the resulotion so the picture doesnt really clear. do you know how much it cost to polished the bezel from AP manufacture??

Dont remember the price, but if you send it only for polishing its expensive as they have to remove the movement from the case, change the gaskets, etc.. If you send it at the end of the second year it really affordable.

texex91 · 22 March 2014, 06:06 AM

Yep AP can get out no problem.

VICI · 22 March 2014, 06:24 AM

They need to add some coating with nanotechnology to prevent scratches

Yoda · 22 March 2014, 06:26 AM

If the scratch is only on the side of the bezel and not face any decent watchmaker can remove the bezel and polish it for you. At worst possible scenario you can get AP to replace the bezel for you if you don't like the end finish. It's SS and not that expensive. Personally I would leave it as you will scratch and mark it again.

Ticking_Sonata · 22 March 2014, 06:35 AM

will call AP boutique tomorrow and ask how much it cost. because the watch is still under warranty so sending to independent watchmaker will ruin the warranty

I'm curious as to the cost of a bezel and gaskets. My last AP got a full service and detail. It was expensive. Made Rolex Service look reasonable.

the only coating to protect them i know of is the box ,,,, life leaves marks on all those who participate

nice watch though

masterserg · 22 March 2014, 08:33 AM

Wear it and have it polished when service time. You'll get new ones. Or get a ceramic or forged carbon piece. Can't polish every scratch.

AK797 · 22 March 2014, 08:43 AM

I got a quote of £800 for a basic polish so its not too expensive.

FeelingTheBlues · 22 March 2014, 09:45 AM

I'm pretty sure it can be polished but, as Serg said, I'd wait until the watch is due for a service.

Gentleman Driver? Is it my old one I wonder, sold to a nice gentleman on here??!!

Doing this would remove the revenue stream of charging extortionate amounts for polishing!

Ticking_Sonata · 23 March 2014, 05:33 AM

today i called AP botique and the price is around 600 chf for polishing. quite expensive

yikes that sure is expensive, if you were in the USA, ABC watchwerks would handle it with no problem.

bayerische · 23 March 2014, 06:27 AM

There will be many more scratches, as AP's are scratch magnets.

thlax · 23 March 2014, 07:07 AM

I just sent my Diver back as it stopped working at 1yr 9 months...but it worked out well for my 3rd year warranty sticker.

Movement was fixed under warranty, and I got the bezel polished for $60. I am not sure how much it would be for the whole bracelet but I assume the head of the watch is $60 for most.

do you get another 2 years warranty if you do full revision even if its during the under warranty period?? i heard AP will give another 2 years warranty if you do full revision during the warranty period.

Never heard of this and I am guessing that may be when you pay for a service?

Anyways, i just received the 3rd year warranty sticker, not 2 yr.

nope. i called AP after sales service even though if its still under warranty and you do full revision you will get another 2 years warranty from what they did and change during the full revision. but of course its different with the normal two years warranty because the first two year warranty covers everything
