My Christopher Ward C3 is looking a bit battered bit with light scratches all over the bezel, so I'd like to polish it to make it like new again.

I've got some Auto Glym metal polish that's worked well on mountain bike parts in the past.

Would I need any special tools to polish my watch? I've thought about buying a dremel-a-like tool to do it.

Has anyone done this before?




Thanks

Quick warning before main post: Don't use that kit on a watch. You'll ruin it!

You can use a "cape cod" cloth to polish watches. It will be more gentle on the metal than a Dremel or any car cleaning products.
