Watch case finishing

Hello,
I Hope everyone is safe and well.
I was hoping to have a go at finishing off the case of some old watches that I have lying around.
I wanted to have a go at the polished and brush parts of a case and bracelet. Has anyone ever attempted this? What grit papers should one start off with? What type of polishing compound? Tools?
I don’t have much experience of this at such a small scale but but appreciate feedback to get me started. Will do a step by step and feedback once I’ve achieved some level of success!
Many thanks
Al

We leave this stuff for the professional guys if needed on very rare occasions.

If I had a $1 for all the watches I have passed on over the years because a great watch has had the case ruined by a over enthusiastic or beginners polish

Pictures of watches you intend to do this to, please.
