Anyone going to polish your SS apple watch?

[amnichols10]

So I used the Mothers polish and a piece of microfiber cloth to polish one of my old stainless steel watches, most of the scratches were gone and the surface became shiny but I could see thousands of micro scratches left by the polish from a certain angle. Is it normal or am I doing something wrong?

Might wanna take my approach on this. At least to get tips from a professional if you are gonna do it yourself.

Yes, have it done professionally by a watchmaker or a jeweler if you can't find someone who specializes in watches. A quality watch polishing will be done evenly and consistently, keeping the lines of the case true and also making sure to not foul up the screen, crown, or back.

Thanks for the quick reply. Makes more sense to get it done professionally anyway, especially if I'm planning on doing it so once a year anyway. You think that would be nice if apple covered a once a year polish under applecare. Know it won't happen though.

I ended up putting a few scratches on the top edge of the case while fixing up some pavers (silly me didn't take the watch off).

I tried the cut-off Q-tip in the dremel method, using Dursol Shine. The result: complete and utter success. Scratches gone, mirror finish with minimal effort in under two minutes. Between 5k and 10k rpm works best.

I taped up the edge of the display, of course, just in case.

I love the stainless steel! There are some unavoidable micro scratches only seen in direct light but they are unavoidable so I've learned to just ignore them and enjoy the watch, besides they can easily be buffed out eventually.

I use Cape Cod Polish on my SS, does a very good job at removing micro scratches and leaves it looking perfect. Even shining it under a bright desk lamp at all angles I fail to see any scratches at all after polishing.

Cape Cod is great as there is no paste to get in any holes.

A watch enthusiast myself, I say wear it and enjoy it. Micro scratches are only seen by you not others. The less it's polished the better.

My Apple SS Watch was quite durable. In fact when I returned it because it didn't have anything to benefit me, the Apple employee commented on how perfect it's condition was.

Apples done a good job, just enjoy yours.
