Cape cod is the best product in the market. I’ve been using it on my Rolex and Cartier watches for years. Works amazing. Follow the instructions and you’re good.
It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to ruin your watch by using Cape Code as you say ... At least you fix the small scratches, you don't see them anymore and it looks super good... and then after 6-7-8 years, you going to polish the watch anyway ..... So where is the fatality damage ..?
@@BrendanBoswell Don’t you get it?? I suggest you actually ask a professional person that polish watches for a living, ask some questions and try to actually learn something!
Cape Cod smells divine, Brendan. I often struggle with the urge of eating it…..my resolve is nonexistent when I crack open that tin….the smell brings out fond memories of eating crayons when I was a young 30something
Great Advice. Wear your tool watch a few years and then send to Rolex for reconditioning. I made the mistake of using Cape Cod to remove minor scratches on two links on my new Explorer 124270. Now, I am left with a shiny non brush finish. Total mistake. Do not DIY!
Rolex doesn’t give you any information I assume that as per the past 3 joint price increases Rolex would follow Tudor. Omega well I have all the new prices written down yet nothing! German Confirmed 200 to 300 euro increase happened today.
@@BrendanBoswell I think it’s utter madness they all keep putting them up like this so quickly. I expect Rolex and omega to put a small one in 1st jan then. Thanks Brendan!
Totally agree, it's a bad idea. Ok. If you're using an affordable everyday watch during work or gardening or whatever and it's gets a bit shoddy looking, polish away! But don't do it on expensive watches. If something is particularly bad though and really needs some attention, bring it to a professional.
Use blue tape to block off the polished areas, after you polish them. Then brush the brushed areas with beartex pads. I wear a Casio daily, my tag for formal events. I have seperate wedding rings too. Polish your watch if you want to, it's your watch. My dad's omega from the 60s made it through Vietnam, Beirut, Panama and Desert Storm and was on his desk when his office at the pentagon was hit on 9/11. It's a piece of history but it never leaves the safe because it looks like hell. I wore it for the 9/11 memorial and carried it in Afghanistan. I'd never wear it out for a formal occasion, it has a calender that's stuck on 11. So it's only right once a month. An Omega dealer offered to refurbish it for me. They even offered me a new one if they could use it for an advertising photo. I refused both, it's a personal choice. It's my watch, my choice, the same as polishing your watch.
Reminds me a lot of polishing guitar frets. I use a lot of the same materials, high-grit scrub pads and even high-grit sand paper. The goad being to polish without taking away any material.
It’s impossible to polish without removing material. The goal is to remove as little as possible yes, but some will always be removed, if not it would not be classed as a polish but just a clean.
Dude, has elementary school world perspective, “over-polishing mirror finish” 😂 wtf is that, I’m afraid of how many people “ruined” their watches just like him in the comments section 🤣
i had brietling chronomat which was polished metal and 18 k and had this watch for 8 years and the cap cod i got recommended if kept it as new but that watch has a mirror finish . if you sell a high end watch buyers will preferer an unpolished watch . every watch has its own finish ............ thats a good idea about sending to rolex , do they polish casio ?
I disagree.... As a modder/builder for 11 years now, ive been using cape cods with great success on many beat up watches. The green scouring pads are fine depending on how much pressure you put on it.
Everything in this video is wrong. It’s good to use cape cod for minor swirls only. You’re not going to polish out any deep scratches. Also there’s no need to tape the watch using it. Cape cod is not that abrasive. I mean an hour of superhuman rubbing is not going to polish out any satin finish. You’d need a wheel for that. Also don’t trust RSC ever to polish your watch. They will polish the hell out of it and destroy those sharp edges of your case and camphers and leave it looking rounded off.
@@BrendanBoswell No he is right, I suspect you know very little about watches, about polishing and how to repair them, it was embarrassing to watch your video, sorry but it’s true.
Good morning, Brendan! Good content. If you want to ruin your watch polish yourself...better a watch with scratches, a watch elders in honor and every scratch tells a story...IMHO
There's an old saying... Knowing something and being able to impart your knowledge (or teach) are two very different things. Unfortunately my friend you fall short in both regards.
Don’t no Tudor did go up the past 3 increases Rolex went up same time as Tudor, The Omega is an Odd on too not showing in 🇬🇧 yet Germany confirmed increase happened today!
.... Hey up Brendan why is it knowbody ever talks about sending watches off in the post for example when you sell one.... Let's say you've just sold a Rolex and the value is let's say £10k unless you pay a premium with certain couriers your run if the mill like Royal Mail will only insure you upto £2.5k and your DPDs, UPS etc will only insure for a max of upto £5k tops! How on earth do grey dealers high street jewellers etc get around this problem if insuring your watch through theft etc??!
Yes zero insurance for items over £2500 I’ve taken that risk my wife was more worried than me. If the dealer is prepared to buy it it’s fully insured. WF is fully insured too!
@@BrendanBoswell It's absolutely crazy especially when you consider the value of the watch? The amount of risk everyone does on a regular basis taking that chance etc
@@BrendanBoswell Fairplay tbh I couldn't sleep until the verification centre emailed me the following day to day that everything was legit and passed etc. Especially when RM sent me the wrong picture of my watch on arrival?!?
I have reported this video to TH-cam for the reason it is misleading. The product is good, it’s just that Brendan does not understand how it should be used. He refuse to take advice from professional people, he is stuck in perceptions which of course is totally wrong.
Stop saying this is a good product it’s not! My opinion is based on using it, your opinion is based on you having nothing better to do but complaining and reporting people. A year on you should really consider moving on with your own life!
@@BrendanBoswell I use it, and often, so does professional people that polish watches for a living.

At one point you praise Cape Cod, and next you claim it's a garbage. Surface you claimed as "over polished" looks cheap because it's beaten up will dents. Cape Cod will reveal all the crap you did to the stamped cheap part before polishing it. This stuff works only on solid stainless steel parts. This video is totally misleading, to say the least.
Cape cod is the best product in the market. I’ve been using it on my Rolex and Cartier watches for years. Works amazing. Follow the instructions and you’re good.

This is of course all a matter of personal preference. I am in total agreement however, of WEARING your watch and not worrying about it too much.

Yes completely bad idea to use it on a Rolex! Unless it’s very badly damaged. I feel your pain.
Hi Brendan - looks like just a very small increase on prices for Tudor but not Rolex and Omega. Any update?

No

You're making absolutely no sense my good friend.
Cape Cod works and it’s safe. This is a bad video.
This is a bad comment, cape cod is for low end watches at best!
@@BrendanBoswell BS.
U are BS
Cape Cod is amazing, it even says on the package NOT for use on BRUSHED stainless steel. It's only meant for polished surfaces

Your words are mixed up! Can you reorganise them so they make some since

and had this watch for 8 years and the cap cod i got recommended
if kept it as new but that watch has a mirror finish .
