I used sand paper for my bracelets, of course only for the brushed section, as for polished section, i just leave it, wait until the service and request for polish then everything will be back as new

I dare not sand paper!

agree... an slight accident, and it will cause more scratches for d polished part..

For leather strap i go fo Kodiak type, you dont have to worry about polishing or waxing,
I can even go for scuba/snorkling.. Your leather is protected,

Alternatively there are 3rd party water proof leather strap availble in KL, made in Austria

Hi all,

Just wondering, what are you guys using to maintain the "shinnyness" of your watch (i.e. case, bracelet and leather)...

For the case and bracelet, I use Cape Cod Cloths, which I actually bought online and delivered all the way from US (price of delivery more expensive than the product  )

For leather, still wondering which product to use, dare not use any till now.. any suggestions?

You bought from eBay?

If you are not sure , use car leather cleaner n conditioner. After buffing off, it leaves the leather smell n a matte finish look..

Car leather? yea, I also had that thought.. Just dare not try..
any good brands? McGuire? lol

Yes Mcguire, the creamy type. I have been using them since 05..

Yes, i even use the plastic cleaner  on my 6694 plastic lens , the wax could be used on the shinny surface. Its better to use wax than metal cleaner..

Yep!

Tried that on my Rolex oyster bracelet and it works perfectly. Remove the watch head from and use light pressure, working in one direction.

Best to use a new pad and not the used oily ones.

Dear All:

For all new watch, I do recommend u use the IPad or Tab screen protector wisely on your watch glass. It's cheap and easy to use, meanwhile also not prominent at all after you paste it correctly on the glass. Just cut roughly smaller than the glass size and paste it on. Easy DIY, and protect against scratches. Is something worthwhile to invest.
