Really looks great. I believe in CCC myself as the best way to go. For brushed parts I use scotchbrite Maroon #7447.

I search the TRF, using scotchbrite maroon 7447 or Bergeon 544-a satin finish bar. I guess I will order one.

Thank you clearing that up.

Both watches look awesome! Thanks for sharing. Cape cod does magic work on any polished surface.

Thank you clearing that up.

If you use that maroon scotchbrite be aware that aluminum oxide is the abrasive surfactant. So plan on doing a very thorough cleaning of the bracelet or use an ultra sonic afterward.

Thank you for the advice! You can only get these kind of advice through experience which lots of TRF members have. Thanks again!

Best,
Young H.
