Star69 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hi, i got this watch in a terrible member trade - scratched (he send be the watch without any protection) and dirty as hell anyway - to prevent me from getting arm cancer my watchmaker cleaned the watch, polished an regulated it - so its wearable now. my question : there are still some deep scratches i prob have to live with but the CGs should be easy to refinish ? anybody have some tips ? i guess i have to disassemble the whole CG ? how can i re-brush them ? sand paper ? thanks !!

astonjenks Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Frank Buy yourself some £M scotchbrite (ebay or simialr) get the fine grade and gently use in one direction unitl happy! You can then poilish or leave brushed. I have done many, many of these. Regards AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3amg Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Did you get pics before the trade? I wouldn't even bother trying to refinish. Previous owner must have been a plumber who wore this watch to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 You could use some high grit same paper to get the scratches out and refinish with scotchbrite pad or steel wool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloyd Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I use 600 grit sand paper going one way in a long stroke from one end to the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloyd Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 You can actually get that case looking good. You can buy 1000 grit,1500 grit, 3000 grit, and 5000 grit sand paper at the Auto stores. Work your way through the grits with the CG removed then polish it with a Dremel felt wheel and polishing compound. It is actually 400 grit I use on the CG. I miss typed in the prior post. With it removed make long strokes going one way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
