First victim was my Hamilton Monte Carlo, that had an ugly scratch in the bezel (hit the window car when the watch was 2 1/2 hours old...). Got the pen to work. FANTASTIC! The scratch disappeared and looks like new.
Second victim, my Zeno Airplane Diver. The non-crown polished side was a bit scratched, and had two yellowish tarnish like marks. Cape Cod pads to work. FANTASTIC! All minor scratched vanished, as well as the marks.
Third victim, my Victorinox Mach IV. Had a minor scratch between the crowns. Got the already experienced pen, and the already expert and confident Master Watch Polisher to the task. Fantastic is not the word this time. Although the scratch disappeared, and the watch looks like new from certain angles, the previous brushed finish was nicely concentric, and I was not able to get the same on the area I brushed. Looks like on the thin Hami bezel the pattern was easier to do as following the curvature was natural.
Looks like there is always a humbling lesson out there waiting for us...
