Can one use Cape Cod on Daytona Bezel?
I am talking about the current Daytona, and you know it has a polished bezel with carvings. Common sense and past experience tells me I can use the Cape Cod on polished surfaces- in fact it works quite well, but with a HAIRLINE, can I use it on the bezel with the carvings on all that?

You can but you'll need to be carefull not to rub out the black numbers!!
I would tape off anything close to the hairline so as to minimize contact with the recessed numbers!!

As previously stated, I’d be leery. Since the magic is in the liquid it could effect the tachymeter paint.
I have this nail polishing block that has course, medium, and then a white surface to add the final gloss to the nail. That is one nice watch tool! Rough is perfect for the 200 grain/inch for the brushed finish of a Exp II bezel with final touch of the medium and the smooth is great for polished surfaces.

Daytona/C
X2.. Agreed.. That's why I am waiting for Rolex to introduce a Daytona / Ceramic Bezel.. Wouldn't it be more practical then ?

Dip a Q Tip with a lens cloth wrapped around the end in the Cape Cod juice and work carefully. Polish with a clean lens cloth.
