Looking for a cheap way to polish watch parts? Try this they are very cheap and they work terrific!
Got a pivot you need to polish, poke a hole in this with a needle slip your pivot in spin it around a few times and presto!
These are very flexible so there is very little risk of damaging any parts with them.You can find them in just about any department or drug store, or possible in with your wife's things. As you can see I need some news ones, I use them for everything. I keep checking her stuff but they are not there yet! I am sure you have guessed it, they are women's finger nail boards. Let me know what you think about this idea.

Hey Leonard, I've never tried them on a watch case,but some years ago I had a cheap .380 auto pistol with a matte finish Stainless steel barrel,and I polished it to a very nice mirror finish with one of these boards. It was kinda like 1000 grit sandpaper,which we used to use to smooth auto paint,before final polishing.
