Hi Marc, loving the content, greeting form the UK. 👍🇬🇧. A number of people on the Rolex forums prefer using ‘Sunshine’ cloths, instead of Cape Cod. They have noticed that CC is a little too abrasive and leaves a milky finish with microscopic scratches where rubbed. With the Sunshine product there are 3 colours of cloth available… pink, yellow and blue. The pink is only for bushed surfaces and the yellow and blue only for polished surfaces. The blue cloth is the least abrasive and perfect for micro scratches. Sunshine are a Japanese company, but the product is sold globally. I hope this helps. Best Wishes, Steve 👍

Good tip, thanks. Agree that it’s perfectly sensible to want to remove scratches like the ones you had. When using callipers on a watch, just apply some insulating tape to the calliper jaws and re-zero them.

I suffer really bad with O.C.D when it comes to most possessions car's, now my watches. I can spend a whole night obsessing over one scratch. My last mistake was knocking out the pins on a Hamilton strap, I didn't protect the flank thus leaving micro scratches. I used car polish, not as abrasive, thus taking longer to remove, but I got there in the end and now my mind is rested again until the nest dumb ass manoeuvre! Great video, subscribed.

This is hilarious Marc! I actually came on YT to see what to do if I scretch my Rollie and found this video 1st lol...

I feel you. I'm an older man and have been a watch nut for years. I always wanted a luxury watch and finally nine months ago I bought a Rolex. At first I thought it would go into the rotation with the other 15 or so that i own but it immediately became a 24/7 watch. I have gotten scratches on the bracelet that drive me nuts. The dealer says to not worry, but since it isn't his watch mine is the only opinion that matters. I have thought about using my dremel and the polishing kit for it, but I just haven't had the guts to do it. I don't want to bother the people at the store and definitely want to keep it pristine. I live in a major city so shouldn't have a problem buying the cloths. Thanks for the video. It will make it easier to live with knowing that the little scratches are removable.

First used 1000 grid, than 1500, finished with 2000 At the end used polishing compound to polish. Did the crystal too, was scratched up now it’s looking much better.

I use CC cloth on all my high polished punches I’ve been using it since years works great 👍🏽

I tend to ignore scratches because if I don’t I would be polishing my watches daily lol. Great vid Marc.

Can you use these wipes on the gold portion of the steel gold submariner? Basically the top link closest to the case, in the middle where the gold is?

Marc, it takes way too long to get to the point: fixing the blemish.

Tip: when you are done with the Cape Cod cloth you DON’T run the watch under water etc - you instead use another soft rag such as a terry towel long cloth or similar to buff the surface you used the Cape Cod cloth on.

Personally, I think an Explorer II with scratches is cooler than one that doesn't have any scratches and stuff. I don't know, it's like a guy who has a perfect 4wd truck prepared. You know he doesn't really use it and is just trying to show off. Anyway, I am a watch guy all the way but a large portion of this Market is based on dudes trying to show off. Not saying you're one of them. Just saying.

"I saw Random Rob. do it. I saw Bruce Williams do it." Guess he didn't see TGV do it. He puts tape on his calipers to avoid exactly this.

Scratches are fine..don’t stress

Marc great video. Thank you for the story, tips & how to. BTW, I dont get all the folks complaining. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

i dont know why all these watch gurus have to measure a watch with calipers when the makers have the measurements freely available. watching the urban gentry measure his mates daytona was a nerve-racking experience!

Thanks buddy for sharing Cape Cod. Pro Tip

Scratches on a Rolex are a sign of distinction...showing that the watch has been out there in the world experiencing adventures, like James Bond and Sir Edmund Hillary.

Great vid! Thx! To answer your question, even though a bit late; if I buy a vintage watch I would first clean it with liquid soap, luke warm water and viniger then polish it. With a new watch I would only clean it with a soft cloth even if it gets scratches because I know I can always polish it down the road if I wanted to and I can live with the scratches. I would always avoid polishing new watches because this eats up the steel so why shed its weight especially if I'm bound to have another scratch on it one way or another.

I did exactly the same on my gmt ceramic. Bloody caliber. But I saved my compulsive instinct with cape cod. Great video ! Thank you

Haha I too bought those calipers! They are pretty sharp man.

I saw your other polishing video but had not seen this one. Interesting

Ahh was thinking about this so thanks for showing!! Can you use it on the bracelet though because its brushed steel? Just making sure before I shred out my grail 🤣

Hi Marc, thanks for the useful video. I’ve recently noticed a similar scratch on my Breitling Navitimer in exactly the same place. Unlike you, I don’t know how I managed it and can only guess that it may have happened as a result of wearing metal cufflinks, although I did check to make sure they wouldn’t be likely to come into contact with the watch. I wasn’t sure if I’d be brave enough to try using the cape cod cloth on my watch, in case I made things worse, but after watching your video, I’m gonna give it a shot. Many thanks and keep up the good work.

Be very careful with the brushed metal part of the watch, this cloth shines that too! Better tape that first and then polish the shiny bit. I learned the hard way on my 116600LN.

I have a few super fine hairline scratches on the side of my SD 43. I’ve owned the watch a little over six months and I wear it everyday. I do not yet own a polishing cloth of any kind. I don’t know if I’ll just deal with things until I send in for service. I also have several small scratches on the bottom of the clasp...but that is just called “welcome to owning a watch.” 👍🇺🇸

I just bought an explorer ii and the band appears to have some scratches. How can those be removed without polishing the band?

why would you even measure the watch ??? your would know what size it is by factory measurements ?

awesome video i liked and subscribed

I make knives as a hobby so i work with metals alot on my watches as long as it's not to deep I use a dremel with a small buffing wheel I use a #2 compound that has diamond dust in it the switch to #1 to finish it if its brushed steel I just the #1 compound the finish it with a wire brush stainless steel cleaner then move up 1 more level of rougher wire to match the brush stainless steel to blend it in with the way the watch was made I don't recommend anyone doing this unless they have had years of practice with metals now the 18k gold bands and watch are way easier to work with because the metal is a lot softer

I just watched a video of a guy that uses a green scotch guard pad (like u would use for dishes) and he cleaned up the brushed metal clasp of his expensive watch that had scratches on it. He made it clear to lightly rub in one direction. Like up and down. Not circular or back and forth. Up and down in one direction and then wipe off. Of course dont do it on polished steel. And go lightly 👍

Love Cape Cod Cloths!

Yes I hate war wounds. They are really only scratches on my watch uhhg! What about the satin finish is there anything to help with a mar/scratch on them areas? Of course it’s on the satin rose gold and it drives me ccrraazzyy!

I use this cloth on the bracelet of my Batman,it’s a right ball ache that this picks up scratches on the clasp. Very pleased with the results,but I honestly thought that the steel that they use would be more robust. Keep on polishing Dude,

Basically. But be aware that CC cloth can result in a mirror finish; such a finish is not appropriate for many watches and looks cheap, especially on a dive watch ( Grand Seikos excluded).Look at a new Seiko or Rolex diver; top of the case and lugs are brushed. In the case of the Seiko there is a mirror finished bevel followed by the side of the case that is 'polished' but not to the level of a mirror but kind of like a lightly fogged mirror. Same goes for the clasp.

I see people wearing bracelets next to their watches, tried this & ended up with a tiny rub mark…is there a way to avoid this? Are people out there with bracelets next to their watches ok with the rubbing?

Any difference in the weight?

Thanks!
