freddy333 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Doing anything with small chrono hands requires a bit of ingenuity. I usually grasp them with tweezers or between my thumb and index finger (depending on the job at hand). To remove scratches, (while wearing a loupe) I would hold the hand between your fingers and rub it across a Cape Cod cloth. To be honest, I cannot imagine how anyone would be able to see a scratch on a chrono hand (unless it is painted a contrasting color to the underlying metal), especially through the lens of a watch. If the Cap Cod cloth does not produce the required result, try painting it (the hand, not the cloth). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
