Cape cod cloths

[Coffee]

Where can I buy one of these? Do they sell them at walmart? I don't wanna wait for shipping. I scrapped my GMT on the bottom of the pool and it left a nasty scratch that is driving my absolutely bonkers.

You can always get a light polishing at a watchmaker.

If it is a nasty scrape, Cape Cod wont help you.

These are best for swirlies / slight marks you cannot feel with your fingernail.

I can't feel it with my finger nail

Looks a lot like scratches accumulated over time...this is a one time "incident?"

I think you're gonna need something better than a cape cod on your watch.
Take it to a jeweler you trust for a polish.

If it can be felt by your fingernail, a Cape Cod cloth isn't going to remove it. You will need some skilled help on this. If your GMT is ready for a service, then RSC is a good choice to return it to like new finish.
If you don't need a service, perhaps a jeweler or watchmaker who can keep the surrounding area properly blended. Otherwise you'll have a wavy uneven finish.

Live with it till service time and have it polish then.

Id wait till service time then it will come back looking like new

Bought them and it worked like a charm. Looks much better now! I didn't wanna do it too much. Just lightly

Where's the after picture please

I would personally leave it alone. If you have it polished then you'll be right back where you started in a few months to a year and you'll be missing metal on your watch. I am strongly against polishing

I suspect that 'over-polishing' is what gets most folks in trouble (although I concur with others who have suggested having it 'lightly done' during RSC servicing).

knew a guy once who was a fanatic about waxing/polishing his car so he bought a HD air compressor & a professional autobody buffer...through his overzealousness, he eventually burned the paint off his MB right down to the bare metal. what an idiot.

Yeah same here. Personally, I'd wait till service for a light polish.

Cape Cods are good for hairlines and that is about it. Unless you want to spin one up on a Dremel tool which takes some minor engineering.

I am like the others. Wait until you are ready for servicing and it will come back like new.
