I've bought the same Bergeon tool to brush a Tudor bracelet.
I do a link one after the other; I have more control on the work. Ciao Engi |

Peter....it's getting on for 8 months ago, I will look through my old e-mails and try to find where I bought it....it was online so I should have a record....stand by
Just looked through my personal e-mail here at home and I cannot find the e-mails related to buying the tool....that leads me to conclude that I ordered it whilst at work and I don't have access to that e-mail account from home....if you PM me in three weeks time I will be back at work and can find out then for you

That brush pen seems to give quite a shiny finish to the bracelet compared to the finish on my Pepsi GMT. Which Bergeon pen and number would you use to get more of a matt brushed finish ? Does anyone know ? My 2004 GMT has never been worn, so the finish would have to be like that.

By the way...
I just used it to some light home service on this bracelet......one tip....use it on top of a large bit of paper so that you catch the broken glass strands....there are plenty of them.....also be very careful not to get any stuck into yourfingers....very painful and difficult to see to get out!!!!....speaking from experience here!!!.....but they do an excellent job...

I better clarify,
This pen is for matt, (brushed) finishes only and not meant to be used on polished bracelets or other polished watch parts. |
