I got one of these to try out:

And I have to say they blow the cape cods out of the water, 3 minutes and my Chronomat looks new!!! Cant believe how many fine scratches it used to had and how good it looks new. Absolutely esenssial for all polished Breitlings.

3 minutes is pretty quick. Are they more abrasive than Cods then, Altair?

Alright, here are a couple. No Natural light or flash on hand so lamp light will have to do. Bear in mind this watch is ober 18 months old and was worn semi-daily for a good deal of that time.

The cloths are not moist actually like the cods are, so no need for another cloth to rub and wipe. I do not think they are more abrasive than the cods also, they require less rubbing so maybe.

Yes! I totally agree and having been using these for a few months now. Much better then cape cod without the mess. They are dry cloths so no messy cleanup.

I had one supplied free from The Watch Prince. Haven't used it on my watches yet, but it did wonders for my wedding and engagement rings, amazing how much' dirt' came off them!
