Some scratches on SS Sub-mariner bracelet
Hello all,
Sadly, I have to report my SS sub-mariner has several scratches on the sides of the bracelet. I really do not want to have to send it to Rolex for cleaning. Yes, they are noticeable. Any suggestions on how to polish them out w/o a Rolex intervention? |

Don't bother.
There will only be more. Wear it and enjoy it. Then, when a service is really needed, Rolex will send it back looking like new again. Otherwise, a simple buffing can be done... |

Well there is a DIY process if you'd like to try it.
For a brushed final finish, use a Scotchbrite pad and make smooth straight passes over the sides of the bracelet links with the scratches. If you have a bracelet with polished edges, a Cape Cod Cloth can help polish them out (or reduce their appearance) and leave a gleaming finish.

Use a Cape Cod cloth - polished surfaces only. It's pretty dumb-proof and you'll get decent results. Now you don't want to use it daily or weekly. But using it a couple times a year will keep your watch looking new.
