    Titanium bracelet scratches

    I have done a search but couldn't find anything. I got a Citizen bn0118-04e in the summer on a titanium bracelet as a daily wearer. Unfortunately its got a bit more scratched up than I like especially on the 12 o'clock side of the bracelet. I've read somewhere that a blue ink eraser works but if anybody has any other hints/tips they would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Use the soft nylon scrubbing side of a washing up sponge. Just make sure you are uniform in your rubbing strokes (that sounds so wrong!). Works every time for me.

    The blue eraser will work or get a garryflex block (which is a similar material)

    Red scotch brite pad is far more effective than the eraser. If you take your time it looks very good indeed.

    Garryflex blue block, or Scotchbrite brown/red. Ideally, take the damage out first using 800 grit wet and dry around a small flat rubber block, that'll take the protrusions above the scratches out and the refinishing job will look better.

    Buy the right stuff, practice on something first.

    Scotchbrite gray is the best, red is good at first then finish with grey.. also a fibreglass pen is really good .. available on Amazon

    I had a similar Q a little while ago about a Tissot T Touch, in the end I decided to keep it as was as it’s what Ti does and ends in a really nice patina.

    Let it gather some history :-)
