Mirror finish on center links?

Jimmymoller · Dec 21, 2019

Has anyone tried polishing center links with cape cod for example?

I have the 1564 bracelet for Speedmaster, and would like to polish the links for a more "blingy" look. Couldn't really find any photos of it polished, but I found ones with Aqua Terra, and it looks amazing.

Any advice for me? Would love to see photos of it polished if anyone has it

The Cape Cod cloth is not going to be aggressive enough to remove the brushed finish on those links.

What I did with a similar bracelet, was to take it off the watch, split it into two halves. Mount each half on a piece of cardboard, mask the outer links, then Dremel the middle links to a polished finish.

I have a modern Daytona and the mirrored middle links is probably the one thing I dont like about the watch, but I've never been a fan of too much bling. I'd swop it for a vintage daytona in a heartbeat.
