Icon20 Polished to Brushed Center Links

Hello TRF Members

I've been deciding over the past weeks of brushing the Center Links on my Invicta from polished to brushed. The PCL's have so many scratches, it bugs the hell out of me! I'm posting this in the General Rolex Discussion because, I have heard some of you TRF Member have done this on your Oyster Bracelets. Please let me know some tips & tricks on how to do this.

Thanks!

Bracelet off watch then use a dry scotchbrite pad quite firm even pressure but brush one way only.

Here's how I brushed two rows of polished links on my Hadley-Roma Breitling Pilot bracelet. The blue paper sheets
are actually Post-Its, so there's light adhesive to temporarily stick to the adjacent brushed links:

Then I finish off with 000 Norton steel wool pad bought from Lowes.

This is my blue Tag. It came with PCL's. I brushed them out using the above method.
Hope this helps you Adam...
