I thought the technique was good - the watch was a Gen, not sure why he wouldn't just use an AD though.

Very good method for polishing. I would love to know where he gets the brushing strips from.

It's always mesmerising watching someone doing something they've mastered (because they've done it 100,000 times), and marvel at how easy they make it all look...

The brushing strips look like the ones that I get in band form to go on my plastic "Flexifile" sanding stick thingy. But couldn't you just cut the strips from regular sheets? Sorry if I misunderstood what you're referring to.

Its the thin brushing strips that he uses on the bracelet. I would like to know where to get them, if anyone knows please chime in.

Nice Dave - that looks really useful. And here's the eBay equivalent, at a much lower price (esp. for UK buyers).

Yes mate sorry for my bad English...
He change the geometry of the watch...lug look rounded the bezel also, the bezel of the daytona must be do whit lapping machine same thing about the bracelet mid links and case back,whit only buffing machine is very difficult to to maintain the geometry’s of the watch...also if anyone want to try to polish watch don’t use soft brush whell but a hard one done by felt because is more hard and you have to follow the geometry of the part that you are polishing

A lot of similar techniques with guitars, fretboards, etc. Good call on the Stew Mac sourcing! This as a great video...always enjoy the craftsmanship aspect of this hobby.
