As with any do-it-yourself use of abrasives on a fine possession -- it is best left to the pros unless you really know what you are doing.

It is particularly tricky on the Seamaster because the bracelet links are a mixture of polished and brushed steel. Many things that work well on one will screw up the other.

Best bet is to take the watch by an authorized dealer. While you are looking at other Omegas, ask them if they can clean up the watch for you. They usually have the correct Omega buffing wheel and can do it while you wait if they are not too busy.

Often, they may do it free while you browse. But they might charge a small fee.
