New to the forums, but not new to Omega. I've got a Seamaster 300 Ref. 233.32.41.21.01.001 that I've had for a few years showing a little wear, specifically between the bezel and the sapphire crystal and a couple places on the top of the lugs. Can this be done without taking the whole watch apart? My thought was to remove the bezel, protect the crystal and go to work but wanted to get some input from the pros on here. Going on as long acation starting Wednesday and just thought about brightening it up a bit. Any product rec's would be great as well.

Don't have a good phone photo handy but I Grabbed a screenshot from the omega site to illustrate.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Not what you want to hear, but leave it alone for now. When its time for a service, have Omega do the case properly, nothing worse than a bad home polish on a nice watch. Not saying you would do a bad job, but Omega will do it better.

Agreed - home refinishing often makes doing a proper refinish more difficult...

The only way to do a proper job is to remove the movement, bezel, and crystal, and polish the case. I would have a professional do it. This is not a DIY job--especially for an Omega.

Just know that if you have the watch serviced by Omega in the future it will be taken care of as part of the service cost.
