In case anyone was curious about these things (as I was) here are some pictures. 12 cloths for $20. That's less than $2 per polishing. Is this worth $2? I think so.

Wow, thats amazing. That was the only problem I have ever had with Breitling, the high polished bracelets scratch very easily. My SuperOcean is has gotten scratched so much I was thinking of replacing the bracelet all together. Im glad to see I can save big bucks with these cloths.

Does anyone know where they would be available to purchase? Or is it an online order thing?

Thanks for the great product review. The old saying " a picture is worth a thousand words" could not be more correct....Wayne

Use with a Dremel tool and it will look even better!

What kind of attachment do you use to polish with a dremel? Maybe I mean to say how do you attach the cloth to the dremel?

Yep, Cape Cods are awesome. I managed to almost totally remove a couple of reasonable scratches from the underside of the lugs on my Navi World where my AD had removed and then replaced the strap a little clumsily. The Cods work an absolute treat!

Awesome idea!! You know what would be good.. I should do a youtube video on it. meh.. that would be a lot of work.

But Great before and after shots. I love it! This will convince all those non-believers out there ;)

Agreed, great pics and a fantastic product!!!

My Chrono Evo and Rolext GMT Master IIc are my staples and see heavy use, I gave them a once over with the same cloth and they look great! Forget that tooth brush crap!!!
