I appreciate that! Thank you.

Wow I have a new found appreciation for the craft of polishing. I guess I didn't realize how much actually goes into bringing out all those different finishes. It seems so therapeutic at the same time. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful video. I just subscribed. Quick question, for a mirror finish diamond paste vs white rouge. Any preference and why? Best wishes from Singapore 🇸🇬

This is dependent on the material being polished and the method used to polish. If using a buffing wheel for larger parts with stainless or gold I will use a rouge made by Menzerna and a soft cotton wheel. Diamond paste is very good for smaller parts or my preference is Simichrome which is less expensive. For flat movement parts I only use diamond paste on a zinc block.

Quality content. Just started learning polishing after assembling movements and watches for a number of years professionally. How would you polish some simple hairline scratches from a polished section, just using a polishing cloth?

if the scratches are not deep at all then I would use a leather buff glued on wood with some simichrome paste to polish nicely by hand. really depends on the shape of the part and how deep the scratches are. I never use a polishing cloth.

Thanks I will give it a try. I found Bergeon 1282-A and it seems to be what you're describing. Its a rectangle link in a bracelet.

That depends on the watch you are refinishing. Usually fine grit wheel will be good for most.

that ..special tape is ordinary kapton tape, kapton is a type of plastic that can withstand high temp. there is also other types of high temp tapes but this is the cheapest one

Really like this content i cant believe how skilful watch makers are this is insane. You have a amazing job 👍
