I had my SuperOcean fully brushed about 18 months ago, recently I have noticed some spotting. I am not exactly sure how to fix this. I would obviously rather not send it out for two weeks to have it fully brushed again for $150 if I don’t have to. Anything I can do to clean it up at home? Photos are attached. Thanks |

I can't see the photos very well as I am on a phone but the brushed effect can be achieved using scouring pads Scotch-Brite pads (there are a few threads here on it). |

Before you try brushing apply a finishing polish first. The marks, although hard to see clearly, maybe removed through a polishing process. If not all then maybe a good percentage. If that does not do the trick then proceed to a brushing solution. If you want to achieve the same brush finish you will need a bit of time & practice to get each section of your watch looking like the rest. Not always straight forward & in my experience can look completely different to the original if not careful. Take note if the brushing direction, depth & any swirl. Try to emulate that for a more realistic finish. |
