  • Want to freshen up the look of your watches? Let me walk you through my simple and cheap process to clean, polish, and even remove scratches. You'll need nothing more than a new toothbrush, scrubbing sponge, and polish cloths.
    (Ideally you're gonna want to actually remove your bracelet, I couldn't find my spring bar tool )

    Hey guys,
    As some of you have mentioned, it's most definitley recommend to wear gloves while applying the cape cod, unless you're a savage like me.
    All the best, TWM gang!

    Guys, don't be afraid as this is easier than you think. Ideally remove the watch head from the strap (I suggest Bergeon strap tool). Use electrical tape to mask the areas you are not refinishing. Use green pad for brushed steel. Use Peek applied to a microfibre for the polished steel (or Brasso wadding works) - it's like T Cut. WEAR GLOVES, especially if you have sensitive skin. Then a nice soapy clean either in the sink or take a shower with it. Be careful with any watches with less than 100M WR and check your screw down crown before you start.

      Awesome points in there Mark, and I can vouch for Bergeron tools, they're the very best I've used.

    If you want a satin finished back, try this method of knife making where you gave a rough brushes and finish with polishing pad. That'll leave satin finish and feel more expensive than brushed finish

    Good job 👍🏼 I normally cut the cloth in quarters as it’ll last longer, also it’s advised to wear surgical gloves as there’s high toxicity in the cape cod . But your watch is well polished 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    • @WatchTWM
      @WatchTWM  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Karl! Funny you mentioned that because I normally chop it up too, but I definitley should be wearing some gloves though, if I stop posting you'll know it's because I died from the cape cod 😂

    If the polish paper turn dark greenish than it means your metal is steel and not any other metal because the wax in the polish react with steels bracelet. If its any other metal it wont react.

      @@spinachbroccoli3276 You had it right haha I was just wondering because this specific watch has 2, one for the time and one to turn a compass dial. Either way they are definitely replaceable , shouldn’t be more than about $100-$150 but the price varies with brand obviously

    How about repairing dent on steel bracelet?

    • @WatchTWM
      @WatchTWM  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dents give some character and every dent is a story! A little polish here and there is okay in my opinion. Eventually if you want to you can just replace the bracelet but unfortunately Dents are usually deep enough that you can’t easily fix them

    Don't dip your watch in water even though it's stainless steel it might pit the bracelet.
