Looks anodized ..so ..u cant.

if u rub it down ull end up rubbing of the anodized layer.

 

porbably best to just make it less noticable with some color matched paint or ink.

 

or just deal with it.

You can't. That's black ion platted "paint" (basically they make paint stick to metal using ion exchange).

 

Problem with black markers is that they tend to have purple-ish tint to it and the wear out even faster than ion platting. You also have markers on the bezel which complicate painting it in any way.

 

This is one of main reasons why I only buy watches in silver (stainless steel). No matter how much they get worn and scratched, they are still of the same color and they look much nicer than black ones that wear up and expose silver metal beneath. That's my basic long term durability rule.

 

It's hard to tell from image, but if bezel can be taken off and you don't care about markers, you could give it to someone for sandblasting and ion platting. You'd just have to find a company that does this, given the size they might throw it with the batch they work on anyway and charge you some tiny amount. You'd lose the markers, but you'd have a nice black bezel again. I wouldn't recommend regular paint as it won't last for very long.

Personally black paint marker would do if you want it to be absolutely permanent and the base material is aluminium you can use aluminum black to chemically generate a black oxide on it.

.the site says It is encased in a brushed aluminum and stainless steel body, so stainless steel is under the black paint then????? i dont get it ?

 

so my options are to 1. scratch all the paint off

 

or 2 . leave it

 

or 3. somehow get it dipped ( aint spending that shit )

That's the body or case of the watch itself the dial could be different material. The simplest would be to use a paint marker or touch up paint to fill just the scratch line. A touch up like this will never completely go away but just cosmetically make it less obvious.

The bezel (that ring with minute markers) is usually aluminium on "real" (by real I mean dedicated quartz or mechanical watches, not smartwatches) watches. So, that's most likely brushed aluminium. The rest of the case is almost always stainless steel because aluminium is too soft. When they want light case, they use titanium because it's super light and about as strong as stainless steel as far as dents and scratches go.
