Can a badly scratched stainless steel watch be returned to its former self without replacing any pieces? What would it cost?... Ballpark? I've got my eye on a well worn Tank, but would buy if it could be restored, otherwise it just looks too beaten up. Thanks for your help

Yes, most SS watches can be restored. Deep scratches, chips, gouges, etc. may be impossible to buff out though. Cost? I had a Rolex cleaned up by a local jeweler for $75. It was amazing how good it looked.

Deep cuts? Heavy, nasty swirls? Pockmarks? They'd be hard to erase and too much buffing can spoil the sheen of the steel. If you have a jeweler nearby who's used to buffing Rolexes to Rolex standards (hard to find those independents), they'd be worth a try. Prices will surely vary. Good Luck;)
