I just got the balls to use my Bergeon Scratch brush on my STeelfish finally, and its amazing how it made it look new again.....Jacob over at XMT forum hooked me up with it! It is just a matter of nutting up, and committing to scratch the hell out of your 3k watch.....once you get past the fear, ita all smooth sailing!!

Man im gonna go brush crazy....just gotta do it over paper and wear gloves as its strands of glass on the pen so you surely dont want that getting into your skin.....BTW my clasp and bracelet were pretty darn scuffed etc before using the brush...check out the after pics below

You are a very brave man Eric! Your Breitling is gorgeous. I am just wondering, by brushing the top layer of steel,the brushtakes away the scratches and leaves the bracelet shiny and scratch free, when your finished? Thanks. ....Bob
