Seems we got the most magical pen for brush finished bracelet, but how does it work? it remove some micro particulates from the bracelet's surface?

Flat4Boxer · 27 September 2010, 08:29 PM

This is an excellent post Randy! Thanks for showing us

I know I am reviving an old thread but due to potential safety concerns I thought this should be posted.

I too must admit that I like to have my watches in showroom condition so I obsess over scratches and how to safely remove them. I have browsed many different forums and have read many posts on different techniques that appear to work well.

On another forum someone who was using a similar pen had someone make this comment:

"If that is a fibre glass pen, you really need to wear a filter mask when using it, as the fibres can be inhaled and cause serious problems. As part of our WHMIS training we were specifically warned about the use of these pens and to use protection. They work great, we use them to remove rust from stem and pinions, etc."

Be safe and enjoy your watches

bondtoys · 27 January 2012, 01:24 AM

...and don't rub these glass fibers in your eyes, guys.

Wash your hands after cleaning the desk and before wiping your eyes....

MonBK · 27 January 2012, 01:27 AM

What a stunningly beautiful watch that KM is.

STEELINOX · 27 January 2012, 01:31 AM

Pretty much goes without saying, use a mask and gloves when using this tool, and for that matter, when using polishes or rouges, brasso, cape cods, they all have toxicity to respiratory and dermal fascia...

Did you know that this same young lady was also Jason Bourne's girlfriend in that series??

SoftwareDrone · 16 February 2012, 05:29 AM

Okay, back on topic.
Two dumb questions:

1. Does this pen work on gold?

2. Is there another kind of pen for the polished surfaces (PCL's)?

westbroek · 16 February 2012, 05:37 AM
