Hate to break it to you, but they are going to appear all the time.

Love them now, or you face two choices: keep buffing the watch and wear down the metal, or give up the watch and buy a brushed steel one...

There is an article with instructions on the www.rolexreferencepage.com using Cape Cod polishing cloth. I would not try this too often. I have learned to live with the scratches, even though I baby my GMT IIc.

Yes, Cape Cod can be a good way to polish your Rolex, but be careful not to overdo it and also be sure to NOT use it on any satinised surface but on the polished surfaces only.

Here is a pic of a "Cape Cod job" done excessively:



Good luck!
