Just a thought - I have owned a few Panerai titanium watches, and learned from that forum that many scratches, rubs and especially superficial swirls can be safely and easily removed with a product called Sandflex or Gerryflex. It is cheap, and one block of it lasts forever. Amazon has it, as do other places - generally runs $5 or less per block of the stuff. Comes in 3 grits; the fine works wonders on Panerai's. I have both fine and medium - and have used the medium for deeper marks.
It will result in a fine brushed finish - that (using the fine grit) matches the factory finish on the polished face of the scales. If you try it on the bead blasted edge though, it will remove that surface and tend to polish it.
So would say it is only good for the face of the scales. Once used - it too results in a surface that quickly oxidizes, and looks great even in bright light.
Not sure it is appropriate here, but I could add a link to where I learned of this product from my favorite Panerai watch site.
Note - I have zero financial interests here - just trying to be helpful. Those rubs, swirls on my Panerai can drive me crazy - and this is a great effective solution. I have tried it on SS, but it just does not work on that like it does on titanium.
Sorry I do not have any photos to send you at the moment.
