I just recently purchased a used "Bond" Seamaster from a good friend of mine. The price was excellent (he bought a Rolex Submariner) although the watch had surface scatches on the clasp and band. I brought the watch home and used a cloth made by Remington (the gun manufacturer)used to polish stainless steel firearms. The cloth is embedded with a VERY mild polishing compound. I used it to rub out 98% of the surface scratches and the watch looks excellent. The cloth does not remove the brushed stainless look or make it look shiny. The brushed look remains intact. The scratches are removed however.
This cloth can be purchased at any sporting goods store. I got mine at the sporting goods dept. at my local K-mart.
Interesting side note: I took the watch to a local highline jewelry store (Davidson and Licht) to have some links in the band removed. When I asked the jeweler if they could buff out the scratches at the same time, he told me they would have to send the watch to Omega to have it "refinished" for $150.00. They are an authorized Omega dealer. The polishing cloth costs about two bucks.
