    i have an Omega reissue Mark II. It is a beautiful watch. I am careful with it but I have a few scratches on the bezel on the sunburst finish. I can live with them. However, short of sending it out for a watch repair using a lapping machine to buff the sunburst to new, is there anything I can do to blend/hide the scratches so that they are not as noticeable? I wondered what others on the forum have done. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Anything you do will not perfectly match the original finish, and may well be more of a distraction.

    Prior to actually sending one of mine (vintage) out to be relapped I experimented with one of the scratch pen sets. With a light touch, you can be somewhat successful, but certainly not perfect.

    For a new watch like your Reissue, I'd advise living with what you have, then addressing the scratches at the next service. I'm sure Omega would do a fine job touching up the case at that point.
