I know this will remove scratches etc, but it will also round off the nice crisp chamfers that the emergency case has, especially towards the ends of the lugs. I can only afford used ones, but all of them have been refurbed and consequently do not look crisp any more
i have never had that problem but have seen it often enough with over polished second hand watches. i would suggest that the person that refinished the ones that you looked at was ham fisted and put it on a wheel instead of doing it slowly by hand. breitling refinishes these cases all of the time w/o ruining the crispness of the case and in my experience, it is not hard to do. one just has to pay careful attention to the lines where the chamfer joins both top and side of the case. of course, if there is a significant ding in the edge of the case, there is nothing that anyone can do without removing some edge...
Unless your a brute fist you arent going to round off anything. Even going straight to the fine scotch brite will be enough for 99% of your needs. No way youre rounding off edges with that unless you make it your mission.
And as for somebody using the transmitter...wrap the antenna around the case. It will deactivate the signal. Secondly, kick the guy's ass. Third, send him the bill.
