The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi. A tone tone pilot bracelet have come up on a auction site that seems to be genuine and will fit my particular chronomat. It is listed as good condition but it clearly has light marks/scratches. As it might fall within my budget my question is can it polished by a jewelers to look like new or is that a specialized job that would have to go back to breitling? I don't not know if a "normal" jewelers can remove marks from the polished parts of the bracelet. I presume that a brushed finish is easier to make like new?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Regards from sunny Ireland.

TT can be polished, just like regular polished SS. Just be aware that you are reducing the amount of gold. Otiginally the gols was 20 microns thick so a polish isn't going to remove it completely, but it will certainly reduce the depth.

If you look at the side of a gold link then you will see the thickness of the gold, as a rough idea 20 microns is just about deep enough to be engraved without showing the base metal.
