i think I'll have to give it a try, my new SMP has got a large scratch running almost the full length of the clasp ( no idea how it got there ! )

Does the packet have to say 'Scotch Brite' scouring pads or something?

By the way, had the watch just about 6 weeks now, and once I took the plunge to shell out on my first ever SMP, its looks great. Its the Bond version.
