Damaged clasp - advice please!

[Woody]

Guys,
Had a bit of a mishap earlier this morning - slipped over and landed flat on my face (well hands & wrist...).
Seem to have added a bit of unwanted road rash to the clasp on my Longines.
Thing is I had this beadblasted not so long ago to match the head.

Here's the damage:



I'm guessing I'm not going to be able to scotchbrite myself out of this.

If I have it re-blasted am I going to damage the detail on the clasp (logo, WR details etc.)?
Am I better off just forking out for a new deplyant and have it refinished again?

Just glad I didn't fall the other way and smash the watch!

I also found out I don't bounce as well as I used to!

Thanks!

Woody,

Light beadblasting wont effect the rest of the clasp providing the clasp is OVER blasted and correct air media pressure is used.

And regards the scratches you should be able to remove most with 320grit working upto 400, 600, 800grit etc and then have beadblasted easy job and you can always sell the clasp if not 100% happy.

Thanks Bry!

Will pop it on the bracelet tonight and have a go at getting the scratches out.

You may well have PM incoming

Blasting wise a clasp will take a matter of minutes well worth redoing and cost call it £10-£15 posted incl.
