I understand how to use the scotch pad to get the "brushed" effect... but this watch seems to have a shiny finish. How did you do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC1221 44 Posted August 31, 2019 I have a similar method but if you want to try to keep the desk dive marks out for some time, I use a heat gun and some thick, clear tape. Put the tape over the clasp. Use the heat gun so it forms around the clasp and gets secure. Use a razor blade and run it around the edges. You can barely tell there’s tape on it. This lasts a few weeks before you have to replace the tape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking95 3 Posted October 20, 2019 I’ve had good luck using the Bergeron 5444 ‘blocks’. Keeps the brushing more parallel vs. the scotchbrite. B ‘fine’ gives a nice brushed finish that matches my Omegas very well. After using B, the A ‘very fine’ block provides a slightly smoother brushes finish that matches Rolex almost exactly.

THXuk 0 Posted October 20, 2019 Great info Any tips for titanium watches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Fun Socks 76 Posted November 14, 2019 Im a big fan of the bergeon blocks, although I use the non bergeon branded versions. Mine are made by a company called york abrasives although gary flex also make them. Exactly the same product for less than half the price. 240 grit is the fine finish, either 120 or 180 (i forget which) is bergeon medium. Only about £7.50 each, a worthwhile purchase if you plan on doing this more than once. Really gives a great finish. Scotchbrite looks pretty good, the blocks look factory finished.

Plaasbaas 750 Posted October 26, 2021 Another tip for the shiny finish: Cape Cod on a Dremel :-) Just make sure to give it a few revs in a cup first, so that most of the juice comes out of the cloth before you use it on the watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's actually a pretty good idea Well done. And I see @Gazzla started this thread, haven't seen him in a long time. Another old name I recognize from years past. Hope all is well. And happy you're not here to deal with @TheGingerFerret He's just the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
