Trying to get some guidance or direction on what you guys use to remove very light micro scratches with on your Solid Gold watches? Specific to the polished section of the case and polished parts of the bracelet. Cape Cod cloth?

Thanks! Just ordered some! Any other tips?

Cape Cod is an excellent product for polishing solid gold. It is slow and gentle, but effective. You can polish out swirlies and fine scratches while watching TV, with no worries of permanently altering the shape of the metal.

Wenol polish works well.

kilyung · 2 March 2013, 11:27 AM

I don't bother. I like the patina.

I agree with Cape Cod clothes but MAKE SURE to cover the brushed parts!!!

I agree that Cape Cod is good, but I get the same results with Sunshine, and without the mess and smell of the Cape Cod cloths :)

And be sure not to use this cloth on the brushed parts of your watch either!

Ask yourself this are you going to polish your watch every time you see the slightest tiny scratch.If so then you can over polish a gold watch,myself would learn to accept these normal everyday wearing scratches.Then when normal routine service comes around those nice people at the RSC will correctly polish your watch as good as new, only to get scratched again in normal wearing.

Yes..I concur. This seems like the more logical approach. Sorry for my OCD!

And what shoud we use on the brushed parts (SS)?

kilyung · 3 March 2013, 07:08 AM

New Scotchbrite pads (green) seem to work best.

Tony-GB · 3 March 2013, 07:10 AM

Leave well alone. Nothing wrong with a couple of small marks. You'll only get more & then become more paranoid. Chillax & enjoy it.
