Daytona polish

Hi I recently got a ss Daytona and have noticed the polished section of the strap picks up little scratches what does everyone use to remove these little blemishes?

Ignore it. It'll just happen again and again. At service time, RSC will restore it to new condition and then it starts all over.

Yep, don't sweat the small stuff or it will drive you crazy and you won't enjoy the watch at all.

If you need a quick polish, cape cod does well--- just don't over-do it! When you polish, you remove metal, but CC is pretty tame polish.

I use Cape Cod on my centre links of my TT Blue SubC and it works a treat and shine lasts for ages.

Just ignore it, Jamie. Unless it's seriously damaged, it gives one's watch character, IMO.

Tape off the sides and use any metal polish. A dremal buffing wheel helps.
