Omega brothers and sisters,
I posted a week (or so) ago with a problem - dark spots on my Dynamic's brushed stainless. The spots would not budge with the help of mild soap and a soft toothbrush (I figured that and my fingernail would be the most aggressive I'd dare get). Short of sending the watch to PA or NY, I called a Rolex (eeeoow, Rolex?) guy in MPLS for any ideas; He said that he (and others in the repair business) touches up brushed stainless with a 3M "green pad". To be precise, the Scotch-Brite heavy duty scour pad. I know what you're thinking: "Yikes, this idiot's as sharp as the Minnesotan in the movie, Fargo, who stuffs people in wood-chippers," Am I right? Well, you're close. For whatever reason, I held my breath and tried it. Guess what? It worked as promised! As instructed by Rolex-boy, I cut the pad to about a 1/8", wrapped it around my index finger, and (very!) lightly went over the steel (with the grain, so-to-speak). I was amazed - it restored the finish to show-room new condition - I can't tell a thing had been done to it! Good news for Rolex-boy, too.
Anyway, thought I'd share a "trade secret".
Gotta go, Jesse's on the radio again, spewing nonsense about something - He's really goofy and is our never-ending source of entertainment in Minnesota.
