Very cool. It looks like they polish the whole clasp smooth and then rebrush the outer links.

Fantastic. All starts with the iconic Rolex design, materials and assembly that allow their watches to be brought back to original condition. But this work takes amazing skill! Beautiful result.

Super video. I cringed when I saw that (diamond file?) go for the clasp, but his results were stellar!
