While holiday shopping last weekend, a vendor offered to demo his new watch and jewlry cleaning product.
After doing an impressive job on my wedding band, he offerd to clean up the common yet minute scratches on the clasp of my SMP. Reluctantly, I handed it over after he assured me that a recent Rolex owner trusted his product and technique.
He then proceeded to agressively rub the clasp w a blacked lemon oil cloth, sprayed it w his magic solution, and handed the watch back to me w/ a smile.
I quickly noticed that the brushed steel clasp had been burnished down to a mirror smoothe shine. Lookin like some kinda @#%@#$% fake SMP.,,,,
My question is, if one of those fine sanding pads or stones that I've read about might restore my origional finish.
I've learded something about handing your watch over to some nut in the mall.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
