·Might poke my OB to see if they can order one for me. Do you have any idea if this would work well on the matte finish of the Casamigos PO?
Likely would. This uses a rubberized abrasive for removing the marks.
If you look at this post:

I did some detective work and figured out the supplier to Omega (Bergeon), and the supplier to that supplier (Cratex).

I saw that post of yours when digging around. I havent been able to find an online source for the 7129-4-F from Bergeon, but looking at cratex, I guess this in 6x3/16 and "Fine" would be the equivalent? https://www.cratex.com/Products/Rubberized-Abrasives/Blocks-and-Sticks/Round-Sticks
Thinking about getting the Fine and Extra Fine sticks, and then try u sing the Extra Fine on the back of the case first.
Before all that... I'll try to find a pencil eraser at home.

·I've had my PO 8500 42mm since 2013 and the bezel is as good as new. I thought I had it scratched way back but it turned out that is was actually some kind of material that got stuck on the bezel when I hit the wall. I cleaned it with a very soft eraser.
You probably don't even need a very soft eraser, any one should work to an extent. Unless your eraser is made from diamond dust I don't see how it could ever scratch the ceramic. 😗

·Tried an eraser on the scratches of my Casamigos PO and no luck.
Had 0 effect on the marks. I'm becoming convinced that Omega covered this PO in a special matte finish because it is incredibly susceptible to marks when compared to my GSOTM.

·sorry for reviving this thread but I saw a video on Youtube and the guy showed a scratch on the matte bezel that showed METAL. He concluded that Omega made the matte ceramic bezel by applying a thin layer of something that is scratch resistant but not proof and if the scratch is deep enough, the ceramic/metal underneath will show through

YouTube is full of trash videos from people trying to get attention.
