    clamp is slower and less flexible for working on bracelet, you really got to check on the outcome as you polishing the bracelet, such as bring the watch nearer to inspect.

        I too won't suggest to clamp it... the operator may not be able to measure his strength and may cause more damage than intended...

          Yes, you got the point, you have to be very gentle about your action, and make sure is one direction and not thro and fore

However, I have give it a very nice touch up, in the process learnt something more out of my hobby and passion, so the trial and error is worthwhile. Try it, you will realise how easy it is...

              my sentiments exactly

              that's another good way of "bonding" with yr watches. but pls try with cheaper pieces before moving on to expensive ones. alternatively, if yr loved ones dun mind letting u try with their rollies, all the better!

                ANYWAYS... guys, do you know that the Cape Cod Metal polish cloth are sold out at MANY HOMEFIX shops??? Fortunately, the outlet near my place helped me get 1 pack and its there now waiting for me to collect tomorrow!!
                Anybody needs them, let me know, can help you go and order and then arrange to mail or pass to you... OR go to LOT 1 ( or is it 10?? ) to try... hear that is one of the bigger outlets.

                            Guys... forgot to update. I collected mine already from BPP. The Store Manager told me Lot 1 on Friday, today when I collected, he told me that he was surprised that Lot 1 was out.. he eventually found it from Harbourfront instead. Pls request yr Homefix branch to get from Harbourfront instead... There were a few at Harbourfront still as of Saturday when he got it for me.

                            Cheers!
