I've foolishly attempted to remove some scratches from the clasp on my Datejust and made a complete mess of it. Can anyone point me in the right direction for Scotch brite pads on line in the UK?

Thanks.

Scotch bright is exelent and cheap. I have use this 4 year, i found it when i own Omega submariner and have problem whit clasp scratching. I use it whit water and soap, they makes it litle more soft.

I bought one of these:

Scotchbrite competitor, rediculously overpriced (a large sheet probably costs $2.00) but it replicates the Rolex brushed finish perfectly!

This is a great thread, now I want some of those tools! What does anyone recommend for polishing the non-satin finished parts(bright and shiny stainless)?

You want the green and yellow one

Why are these pads $15? Its just a pad. Should be a couple bucks no?

The Bergeon 5444 fine and medium are even better than scotchbright if you want to get serious

They are overpriced but they work, so to someone who wants good results they are worth it.

Besides, they last for almost forever.

Forget the Scotch Brite. GO to Walgreens and spend $2 on this:

It's used for nails, but I can take the most beaten up Rolex bracelet and case and make it look brand new with this. This beats the scotch-brite because it's consistent versus the brush pad so the even brushes you make with this will look very clean and well flowed. Start with #1 to even out any major scratches, then go to #2 to even the tone on the bracelet. You could do #3, but it may make the bracelet look a bit too soft. Stay away from #4 unless you are looking to get a polished shine on the finish.

VOILA!
