The Breitling Watch Source Forums

hey whats up fellows, im new to this forum and i have a avenger skyland navy blue dial on a rubber navy blue strap i have some minor ware on my watch and i like to know if i can get it cleaned up thanks ?

Welcome to BreitlingSource st0mps.

There are many, many threads on here about polishing - do a search for Cape Cod or Sunshine (two brands of polishing cloths) and you'll find everything that you need.

thanks for the info would it be better to purchase those items instead of taking it to a jewelry store to get the minor scratches out of the bezel and on the strap piece ?

If it's minor swirl marks then you can easily do it yourself, but careful on the bezel as these cloths will polish brushed finishes. If it's more significant dings then you'll likely need a professional job.

yea it just minor, i just order the cape cod polish off ebay 17bucks with shipping for 3packs of 2 so its 6 polish rags hopefully it helps if not i will bring it to a AD to get it clean up thanks

just make sure you dont get any of the cloth touching your crystal! it can take the AR coating right noww i believe

sorry im new to the watch game the crystal you talking about is the glass lens?

Yes.

And if you are going with cape cod rather than sunshine make sure that you rinse afterwards, otherwise you'll have black wrists - it's all in the threads on here.

k thanks for the information

i know this information im asking is all questions asked and answered but what do you guy's use to protect the glass len's when cleaning the watch?

I have never polished my watches. I dont put one mark in them but someone will be along soon to help you out

Care!

Just take it slow and carefully and you'll be fine. I suppose you could put masing tape on it - that shouldn't do any damage, but just be careful and it's easy.

I wondered if taping it off would be the answer..It wont pull any of the coating off right?

yea i was thinking that also the blue painters tape, i wanted to polish up the bezel as well

Masking / painter's tape will probably be fine - but I wouldn't risk it.

If you want to polish up the bezel then I would take it off the watch.
