...on my nearly new SS Sub Date. Ideas anyone? The scrates are on the one outer and center link second from the 12 0'clock side and cannot be felt with my fingers, only seen as a scratch in the otherwise perfect brushed surface of the steel.

Is there something I can "buff" this out with?

p.s. ever since getting the GMT II Red/Black back from the RSC in Dallas, and even though I bought the F-series EXP 1 two weeks ago I've been wearing the GMT pretty much all the time.

Nice curse!!

I use a little bit of metal polish on a soft cloth. On my GMT 50yr I'm always getting scratches on the gold strip on the clasp. As soon as I put my arm down anywhere it gets scratched.

Wesol, metal polish works perfectly.

Can you guys recommend a good metal polish? I want to make sure I use the right/good one. Thanks.

Same on the TT Blue Sub.I take very good care of it,but can see scratches and scuff marks,especially on the clasp area.18ct gold is soft.Period.I still maintan that 9ct gold would have been a better more practical choice on a watch.

The SD sees more work service now and the Blue TT Sub is now reserved for "special occasions",BUT,its bigtime fun to take the Blue King out ....

WOW! Does that really work?

Well Gents,

Cape Cod Cloths are the Nirvana!.....thye work very nice. I use very light pressure and it polishes the gold to look like new...

Got mine from some vendor on ebay...but do a google search and I am sure you will find plenty of places that have it.

Nice curse!!

light marks on the brushed finish i found can be o so easily removed with a fibre glass pen[with which i felt i had more control] just a couple of light strokes will remove it in my experience .

Any guys with gold I can really reccommend the "Shino jewellers red rouge polishing cloth"!!!!!!!!!!! IMHO i was able to achieve a undistingushable mirror factory finish [cape cod whilst great on SS is somewhat harsh!!!!!!!!!on softer gold but for actual scratches using both, following up with the "Shino" rouge cloth gets you that mirror factory finish IMHO]
