Hey Gang, I think all of us love how clear SSC is, personally I found it as a scratch magnet, probably because of softer "stain resistant layer" on the top. Wondering have any of you tried to polish it? If so, what did you use for it, what were the results? Many thanks

Hi all, After almost a year with my Omega Speedmaster Professionally watch, getting a few minor scratches on the polished upper 4 sides. I have some Cape Cod polishing cloths for other items, and wondered if it's a good idea to use them to get rid of these marks? The marks are on the polished...

i've noticed that my Visodate no longer has the ridiculous lustre it used to have (when i unboxed it, i could examine it at every angle under really intense lighting and not see a single scratch or flaw - it was like glass), and no amount of polishing cloth/lint-free cloth combo has seemed to...

When I go to the buyer/seller subforums, I frequently find people noting "This watch has never been polished.", or some such. But I'm not sure I understand why that's relevant... What does polishing do that affects the value of the watch? How does it change the watch in any way beyond removing...

What is your personal experience with various jeweler quality cleaning cloths? I am not referring to scratch removal or other abrasive cloths/pads for repairs of a watch's finish. I am referring to cloths that can be used regularly to wipe over a watch to keep the grime off of it and to remove...

Hi, I am currently working in Beijing. Wonder if anybody knows a reliable place where i can send my tag for polishing. lotsa scratches.

This is about my futile attempts to restore a mirror finish and is looking for feedback from those who think they know how to. Alright, we all love our watches. And scratches can be a real thorn in the eye. We all know that a good watchmaker can restore the watch to like new finish. But it...

I have an old Poljot that has a couple of shallow scratches and needs to be shined up. Is this even possible without removing the gold plate? By the same token, can the chrome plate on older Komandirskies be shined up without removing it? Thanks in advance. Patrick

My father gave me his Navitimer a few months ago that he had sitting in a drawer. He purchased this particular model when he was a helicopter pilot in the Marine Corp. I have always loved this watch and was hoping that some of you may help me in answering some questions about the watch and...
