How do you brush your Oyster...
Ok normally I rebrush my bracelet's using a scotchbrite pad or a fine emery cloth when they get all scratched up...
It works just fine on flat bracelets but the oyster is rounded and has difficult to get places when using a flat brushing pad  . I mean the scratches are gone (since they are normally on upper portions) but it ends up having 2 different brushed finishes if you look closely. How do you all get around this, do you know of a good solution that would reach 'deeper' into the links  ?Thanks!

I get around it by not refinishing my watch. I happen to like the scratches and the character that comes with them.

Use your regular process but wrap the band around a curve object and work the grooves first. When done, work on the flat surfaces in your normal manner. Should keep you good until your next service.

Wrap the bracelet around a watch pillow and you should get the rounded edges just fine.

The title of this thread would make a good T shirt...

I thought that was the way my Oyster bracelet was supposed to look....especially with a nice gouge on the steel bezel of my EXPII...used with character....? I suppose my AD will buff it new if and when it needs servicing...
