Depending on the style, materials and age of the watch, it may become more expensive to repair a watch, but it can almost always be done so long as you find the right repair center. Of course, some parts of a watch may benefit from being replaced instead of repaired depending on how badly they are damaged.

Sometimes a watch face can be too damaged, and it is important to recognise when this is the case. If the scratch is too deep and cannot be removed through polishing, consider replacing the watch crystal. You can do this by taking your watch to a local watch repair shop or returning it to the manufacturer to replace.
