Taking care not to polish holes on clasp and case lugs.

Not polishing over trade marks also leaves a crisper finish.

Thanks, Anthony. One thing I didn't get. Why do you have to remove the bezel to...

Hello amanico

  But, removing the bezel allows you to satin finish the horns up to and under the bezel seat(leaves a more finished look of the case).

Thanks for asking.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification, Anthony. [nt]

The key word is gentle restoration.  Always needs the hands of an expert as you can't easily go in reverse.  Better to do a little than too much.

Thanks

I agree less is more... And Don't fix it, if it's not broken.
