    Own self do a bit risky because chances of 'cock ups' quite high especially for those doing it first time. Better to let the dealers do it. They handle many watches everyday... So I think can trust them.

    Worse come to worse, bring the watch back to the service centre. Safest

                  Polishing with the Cape Cod cloth is removing metal from the watch surfaces, so only polish areas with visible scratches.

                  Especially on Gold surfaces; you don't want to remove too much of your Gold, do you?

                      Cope cloth for polished areas only. Brushed surface use scratch-brush pen
                      unless u want your brushed bracelet to become polished

                        Where to go for polishing?

                        I read that some scratches can be removed by polishing.

                        What is this "polishing"? And where can this be done, and how much?

                        Also, how much to change a bezel?

                        I have a GMT2. Can I change the bezel to the new ceramic one?

                              Polishing at RSC

                              hi,

                              just bought an GMT IIc couple of days back.
                              The links seems very easily scratched.
                              Anyone would know how much RSC charges just for polishing service?
