Has anyone "brushed" a polished SS finish before?

I have a 111H on its way to me and I'm having second thoughts on whether I should have purchased a titanium watch over a polished SS watch. I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried to tackle this mod?

It's very easy to brush SS, just grab a Scotch Brite pad and brush in a single direction until you get the desired finish.

Great...thanks. Are you able to get into the crevices with that technique? I was wonder how a dremel tool would do.

Will this same method remove surface scratches from a brushed finish? Like the clasp of my Omega?

Thanks, Guanaco.

You can use scotch brite to remove light scratches from brushed finishes. Some deeper cuts need a wet sanding or dry sanding. Be careful with dremels they can generate heat and cause discoloration of the metal.

After the sanding then blend it and make the steel uniform with scotch brite.

dremels can also take alot of material off if used incorrectly. use an attachment which has the smoothest surface (fine grit) and use the slowest speed, try and skim the surface gently. I would recommend trying it out on an old bracelet first...

Thanks, WB. I'll give it a go.
