Hello,

Lately I've been interested in getting a SMP. The Bond blue or black. The bond in good condition or the black. I like the older black most but the new ceramic Bond is very nice.
Anyway I'm getting off topic
I found a good buy (I'm looking at low priced pieces even with damage.)


I'd like to clean it up. I don't mind getting rid of the brushed finish (which I was told the Cape cod will do.)
What do you guys think. If it works as it's supposed too It will be a polished finish.

 

alternate options shared by others..

Thanks for the links especially from seamasterreferencpage! I'm thinking (reason I made this thread) about polishing the bracelet instead of brushing it. Hence changing the finish.

 

My opinion, so take it or leave it. That bracelet is amazing with the alternating brushed/polished surfaces. I've seen some completely polished, and they don't look nearly as nice. I had a Seamaster GMT with a bracelet like that. It wasn't hard to use the green scotch-brite pad to re-brush the links that had gotten scratched.

If you want to polish it all, it's up to you. But I wouldn't.

 

On the newer Seamaster I can see why people brush the center links

This is my only Omega right now (and my only real watch). I'd actually like to see a fully polished bracelet but maybe I like the bling factor.

 

Does a Polish SMP tell time backwards?

 

Great thread with great links with several how to options.

 

Most polish bracelets are sold in Warsaw.

On a more serious note: nobody commenting on the little orthodox half link in the middle of the bracelet of the OP?

On another tangent: the bond bracelet and the skelletonized hands spoilt the SMP forever for me... does not age well (aesthetics)... took me a long time to figure that out for myself - I just put it on fewer and fewer times in the mornings.
