I just got in my cape cod cloth and i wanted to polish out a little scratch that i had. So i started polishing it and i wasn't paying attention to the watch(was watching TV while doing it like an idiot!!!!!)

...after about 10 min passed i looked at it and it took out a quarter of the metal on the case (see pic below). How is this possible????10 minutes went by. I am ready to cry right about now, i know you guys were right when you told me not to mess with it but i just didn't listen. WHAT DO I DO NOW!!!!?????!!!?????

just kidding guys lol...how do you like my photoshop skills though?

Wow that Cape-Cod cloth works better then my Drexel polisher.

SPACE-DWELLER · 29 January 2008, 07:42 AM

And here's another "horror pic". Apparantly, the result of excessive use of Cape Cod which literally made a "Shape Odd" job out of this poor 1530:

That's a shame on a very rare watch.

My CC cloth removed a horrible abrasion I got on the bezel of my Rolex when it was about 24 hours old....I owe it my horological life I tell you!

Baptistman · 29 January 2008, 07:45 AM

I cried out, what the hell, I must of said it in such a way that my wife said, whats wrong in a very anxious voice.

cmr · 29 January 2008, 08:18 AM

i was going to say your cape cod cloth was much more abrasive than mine. i don't have enough strength in my arm to do that with a cape cod cloth.

miked · 29 January 2008, 09:13 AM

oh man that was a good one

All that strength in his arm comes from years of practice at being a TOSSER!
