OMG what have i done to my watch!!!!(cape cod cloth)
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? |

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:

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.

that other watch cannot be from the cloth, i think the owner had that polished out professionally, maybe he just wanted a shiny case with rounded edges. But i cant imagine a cape cod cloth do that.

You should use 100 grit sand paper next time and cut down the polish time to just one minute.
