Thanks! My Sub looked great on vacation. Credit to droptopman, he's taught me a bunch, he's the man.

The bracelet resto is very easy if you take your time and use the right tools. Make sure to remove the bracelet so you don't accidentally hit the case with the synthetic steel wool and make sure to soak the bracelet in Windex or dish detergent + water as you won't believe how much crud builds up between the links over the years. Wear goggles if you have them, the fine shavings can get in your eyes.

The end result is brilliant. My 1016 and 16610 all shiny and polished above.
