I have this Hamilton Khaki 704450 with some dings here and there and I was thinking if I should polish just the top part of the bezel using those cape cod cloths, but I’m not super sure if I will be able to polish them away in a way that I’m satisfied with the result.

On the other hand, this is my daily beater… I paid 200€ for this piece so I was thinking that if send it to a shop for a proper polish it could be more expensive than the watch itself.

Pros of doing it myself: less expensive and I have the materials laying around the house. Cons: never done it before.

Pros of sending to a shop: I have a bunch of shops near my house and work and the end results should be better. Cons: more expensive than the watch itself?

What would you do in this case?

    You could try the cape cod polishing cloths. I used them on one of my watches that I bought preowned and the results are amazing. All the hairline scratches are gone and the deeper scratches are a little less pronounced at least.

    For a few bucks and 30 minutes of your time, the result is really amazing.
