Reply With QuoteI've used 3M Scotchbrite Red / Maroon pads (7447 Very Fine grade) cut into thin strips to good effect.
I’ve managed to scuff the clasp in my GS SBC 201.
After exchanging emails with Jura watches, £300-odd is just too expensive to replace... it’s a stainless clasp for goodness sake !!
So... any clothes that people can recommend to help return the brush effect on the clasp ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Simon

Drop me a PM with your address and I'll gladly pop you the correct pad for a GS brush in the post.

Cloths - clothes, tomatos tomatoes, it's worth knowing the difference.

Never used it myself but I’ve also read about a fibreglass pen that you can use for a quick refinish.
Thank you very much, I know now the difference and appreciate the lesson.
Actually that fell flat, the 2 above can be swapped and still make sense
Good old Garryflex works a treat on my brushed finishes. It has the advantage of being able to be cut to an appropriate size and will last eons. It's very cheap too. Pink for fine finishes and gray for slightly less fine. Work it in a straight line and you can easily blend it into the existing pattern. This set on Amazon will cost £20 and last a lifetime of scuffed clasps.
Tip: use a ruler to make sure you get a good straight line. Mask off any other parts with sellotape.
Thanks four all the helpful comments -
Much appreciated guys !
Another vote for the Garryflex, I’ve tried all the other ways mentioned and Garryflex is the best.

I'd use something a bit more resilient than Sellotape, personally. I've used both masking and 'duck' tape at different times.
Here's a Seiko 7A38 I refinished a few years back, whose bracelet needed quite a bit of masking / unmasking during the process.

I’ve bought some garryflex and will report back I due course !
Just some feedback - got 4 blocks of the garryflex and 5 minutes later ... all scratches removed !
Fantastic stuff - thanks guys.
Nice one OP. This was the trickiest job on which I used Garryflex, the bracelet from my Speedy Pro. It required careful taping up with those polished centre edges. Patience and a steady hand will get you a perfectly acceptable result, certainly good enough to keep you going until the service centres can work their magic at service time.
