Just rub it out. I think they look better a bit distressed anyway.

I took a scourer to the polished bits on mine. Looks loads better now and matches the brushed finishing of the bracelet.

 

Thanks! Will try it out. Don't feel like wearing it the way it looks now anyway.

 

Now you can customize it

It can be repaired using wet & dry sandpaper but you will need to take the bezel off for the best result. Or take it to a watch repair guy. I've repaired many watch scratches myself. ;-)

 

Another good (but expensive) way to solve this problem is to replace both the bezel and strap by a Porter edition one, because those have DLC treatment and are a way more difficult to scratch. It will be quite expensive and your watch will become dark, though.

 

I would just leave it alone if I were you. Trying to rub if off may end up with more scars. Happened to my MTG resin band, stupid of me to wear it while carrying a heavy cardbox (laden with water bottles, full). Some scratches on the resin band due to sharp edges of the box. In panic, I tried to rub with eraser, only succeeding in rubbing off the protective oily (I believe) layer, resulting in the rubbed area lighter in color (very noticable in bright light conditions)

This is one of the models on my radar. SO far havent pull the trigger due to display, [prefer MIP type

 

That's really not that bad man. But then I buy a lot of pre-owned Gs and find the scratches a bit of a relief so I don't have to worry about adding my own. If you honestly can't live with it, either sell it or do what charlie said and buy a replacement bezel.

 

You could just look at it as "patina"

 

Ouch. That's a big one.

Just think of it this way, now you can wear the watch anytime you want without caring about getting it scratched.

 

It's just a scratch, no big deal. If you wear the watch regularly it will get scratched, that is unavoidable. Any existing owner could have told you this beforehand.

I suggest you just lighten up and accept it. I strongly advise against trying to repair it. If you try to repair after 1 scratch then what will you do when another one occurs? Repair again? You will find yourself in a never-ending loop.

The first one is always the worst, in time you will have many scratches and then you will not even notice.

 

When I was new to the hobby and bought my first expensive watch, the Seiko SBDX001 Marinemaster, I was obsessed with making sure it was pristine. I would use cape cod cleaning cloths and polish the hairline scratches on the shiny, polished areas. I don't do that anymore because I was stressing myself out. I just accept the marks as part of regular wear.

 

Aliexpress, loads of mods, may even have a bezel in there for your model.

 

Huh? Are we worried about dings and scratches on a G-Shock now?

 

If a G-Shock isn't significantly scratched then you're not using it properly anyway!

 

Partly why I prefer resin clad squares. As much as I enjoy the full metals, bumping them into things does sting, especially when they leave marks.

You could get a replacement bezel and just wear the heck out of it though. The first scratch really does hurt on a shiny watch.

Pacparts.com lists the genuine Casio replacement bezel for just under $84. No idea what shipping to France would cost, though.

 

Wabi-sabi!

Come on it is a G-SHOCK.
The bezel is brushed, it means to take scratches. This metal square is by far not the most prone to scratches thing.

 

joining the chorus, wear your scars (and G Shock scars) with pride. No watch should live in a box, the inexpensive Casios - G Shock and the analog 'Duro' diver - in particular.

 

The bezel is a flat bushed surface.

A couple swipes across 1000 grit wet sandpaper and it will be gone.

 

Wow throw it in the trash. That thing is garbage, I can't believe anyone would wear a watch that scratched. Imagine how much you'd be judged and shunned in society for this.

Edited for sarcasm.

 

Man.. having scratches on those must have really disturb anyone with Ocd.

………..it’s a G-Shock

 

magic eraser + elbow grease ?

 

Your life will be easier when you stop worrying about superficial scratches. Everything scratches.

 

Before jumping into the wonderful world of watches (or more specific- G-SHOCK), I did not know that I suffer from OCD. And really bad OCD. Yes before that I would freaked out when finding scratches on my new car. But this. is on another level. I think most of G-Shockers suffer from the same medical condition.

 

If you must fix the bezel, I believe steel wool can be used to restore brushed finishes on the bezel.

If you want a somewhat entertaining read, check out a now locked thread on a guy in the Rolex and Tudor forum who believes one of the indices on his Tudor is a fraction of a mm off. I honestly could not see the issue, but he was adamant about it. Some other folks said they saw the misalignment. That may be OCD on a higher level lol
