Hi I've had my blackbird now for a few months. Really l've it and it has become my daily wearer, however I'm getting all kinds of tiny scratches on the bracelet. Are there any recommendations on how to fix this? Thanks Any typos are the product of my stupid iPad self correction feature. |

Scotchbrite pads. Do a search for scotchbrite and you'll find loads of tips. |

Thanks, I ordered some micron sheets. I'll give those a try. Any typos are the product of my stupid iPad self correction feature. |

I spent a half hour with my Blackbird and a Scotchbrite pad last week and it came up a treat. Well worth the 99c! |

I went with the micron sheets because I wasn't sure if the scotch brite pads would give the right size texture or not? Does it look the same ?

For a basic brush, a dry scotchbrite bad does the trick. |

Yep, Scotchbrite is my weapon of choice when it comes to brushed finishes. I've said it before on here, but I once used Scotchbrite to totally refurb an old Omega SMP that I'd worn pretty much daily for 2 or 3 years before I traded it at an AD, and after closely examining it for a few mins, the AD asked me if I'd ever worn it!! With a bit of care, and masking of areas as required, Scotchbrite pads can give a superb finish. Tried and tested. |

Update. I didn't want to use the scotch Brite, it seemed to crude for such delicate work so I ordered the little papers much like sand paper. I used the 30 micron to restore the buckle and 9 for the band. Worked out really well and looks like new. Also used the 3 micron, then 2, then 1 to remove some deep scratches on the polished surfaces. I'm happy wit the results Any typos are the product of my stupid iPad self correction feature. |
