Unfortunately it's not the bezel.
Anyone know if it could be fixed. Obvious choice would be sending it back to Panerai but I'd imagine that wont be cheap. Scratch is hardly noticeable now but more concerned for the chip.

As its a polished caase it should be fairly easy.

On my cheaper watches with polished cases I have got the dremmel with polisher removed completely marks as deep as that.

not suggesting you try it on a pam though unless you are very brave smile

It can certainly be done:

So the damage isn't an issue (and in many respects, the above photos put my mind at rest regarding daily use of some of my watches - withing reason, metal cases can easily be refurbed).

What I'm not so hot on is people that can do it. . .
