That's a fine looking watch :) Did you use the scratch pen on the bezel?

Yes, I did. When I started I just wanted to get rid of a fine scratch, but then I ended up doing the whole watch.

I also have a similar situation with my MBK Nautilus. I got a pretty deep scratch on the bezel, brushed it out using a sanding block and tried my best to match the original grain using several blocks with different grit sizes... not a chance in hell. The newly brushed area stands out against the beautiful original factory finish.

I was planning on looking for a watchmaker who re-finishes Pateks but after seeing your thread, I like the results you got with the pen.. nice job :)

The scratch pen does nohting at first. It takes some time, which is good so you can't really do anything wrong. The brushed part was very uneven when I received the watch. Especially around the crystal there were parts that looked very flat. Now it looks very refined. I was at a conference yesterday and the guy sitting next to me had a gen Blancpain, so I suppose he knew about watches. He couldn't take his eyes of my watch. So funny. Had he asked I would have told him that it is not gen of course, but he didn't. I have read that the cartel version is more exact in general but the MBK is more refined from the factory. Now all I need is a closed caseback.....
