CAPE COD? Experience appreciated

Cape Cod? What is your experience - New or Old

I would leave it be...adds character.

I'm not familiar with the lugs on the SM300 - a lot of my omega chrono's have brushed cases on the side or where the lugs twist.

Be careful next to brush parts, it really wrecks the look, so tape them off; but a tiny bit of cape cod with a very light buff can dull those scratches without altering the metal level. You will just essentially blend it a bit.

Just use a tiny but, light pressure, build it up and then buff with micro fibre.

Just to add, i agree with the other comments, leave it in general as you will accumulate more, but occasionally very light scratches bother me and i do apply some very light polishing myself.

sorry, i mean't, apply a tiny bit of polish. Smallest amount of possible, i.e. just touch the cloth against the case and you'll see some polish transfer.

Take your microfibre cloth and very gently apply some pressure, build up that pressure until the scratches fade. Then with a clear bit of the microfibre cloth, buff out to a shine.

Essentially, don't use the cape code to polish, just use it to transfer some polish and use another cloth.

You would likely use the cape cod cloth to polish and rub if you really wanted to go to town, or if you were polishing a ring or silverware or something like that. But i dont like to do so on watches.

First scratch is always painful. It goes much easier from that. I think it is almost impossible to wear a watch and don't have any scratches on it.
As some people say, it would add a character for sure.

Yes works for me

Did it the other day on a pink gold case

Can't be bothered to read all the replies, so not sure if anyone has said this already, but if the scratches are anything more than very light surface scratches you probably won't get these out with Cape cod.

Also, from my experience of Cape Cod on watch cases, you may get rid of the main scratches, but you're very likely to introduce lots of fine swirl marks instead, which when they catch the light are equally annoying imo (although perhaps less noticeable at distance, or in not so bright light).

It depends how fussy you are, what you'd prefer to see in terms of marks/ scratches on your watch, and (if you do decide to take action yourself) how careful/ patient you can be prepping the areas you want to polish and want to keep brushed etc.

If you've not done stuff like this before, I'd either practice on a cheap watch and see how you go, or just leave alone and let someone with experience do it for you.

It’s possible with a ceramic case. I have scraped and bashed my DSOTM against so many surfaces and it remains pristine. Whenever it does have a mark in it, it’s always come off the surface I hit and I just scrape it off.

That said, scratch resistance wasn’t why I got my DSOTM (it was all about looks). My 11 year old triple date has picked up more scratches than Edward Scissorhand’s girlfriend, and I don’t have a problem with any of them!

This.
