Icon15 Can I use Cape Cod to polish the case

I have a D/J 116234 got some fine scratches on the side of the case, is it safe to use Cape Cod cloth to polish the scratches off? Can i also polish the center links of the jubilee bracelet? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Yes you can.......but be very careful not to polish any of the brushed area's by accident.....you can mask off the brushed sides of the bracelet....it's easier if you take the bracelet off the watch head and lie it flat on a table to polish the centres.....

Absolutely! Keep it off any brushed areas and you'll be fine. You don't need much of it either to do the job well.

Is Cape Cod cloth "removing" metal in order to have polished finish?

yes, its removing imperfections so metal is being taken off, minute amount, but you are correct-
