movement scratch removal

Given that a Submariner's plates are plated brass, is there anything that can be done at a complete service that will remove or hide the signs of less than careful workmanship from previous service people.

I imagine that a scratch brush will remove the plating, or is it sometimes that the scratches (not from manufacturing) seen under a 10 x microscope are actually just scratched plating.

Repacing the bridges is about all you can do. The plating is minimal and a scratch brush will make it worse Rikki
