Re: More on scotch brite

: I just got a Steel Seamaster and scratched the

: again.

I'd be real careful with scotchbrite, it's more like a low-grey sandpaper and changes the finish more radically than the product below.

I think if you buy a "fine" satin bar (not "medium"...too rough)from Frei & Borel, you'll get results that exceed scotchbrite.

Another word of advice - don't buff out scratches very often. The effect of numerous scratch removals will eventually wear out the general shape of the clasp and ruin the appearance of the lettering. Better to "let it go" for a long period of time and then buff them all with the satin bar, than to nit-pick each and every little scratch. You will drive yourself crazy.

Just my opinion, but based on years of experience.
