Need help with buckle finish

[sevykor]

Hi,
I was curious if anyone here happens to know what can be used to touch-up the brushed finish of a datejust (16233) buckle? Perhaps something that can be purchased at a Lowe's or Home Depot? Thanks.

For a moderate approach, this link is what you need. It's the best there is for small scratches:

For serious scratch removal, nothing beats this to restore the brushed finish, but it does take a bit of practice on a piece of scrap material to develop the technique.
