After 18 months of near-daily wear, my GMT IIc has accumulated its share of fine scratches on the band. Taping the center of the band and hitting the edges with a Scotchbrite pad quickly restore the edges, but I can't seem to get the polished centers right. For the center I used a Dremel polishing wheel and jeweler's rouge (red), and it helps, but I wind up with what I'd call an extremely fine semi-brushed finish rather than the mirror finish the link centers originally had.

Of course, I could make my life much simpler by just making everything brushed...but do you guys have suggestions getting that factory mirror shine?
