What methods do you use to clean an old silver watch case? Does anyone use a 4" buffing wheel? Thanks | ||

Edward, I use the same type products that are used on fine silver, they are readily available in most food stores. Then I polish by hand, this is all individual preference, but for me hand polishing is easier to control and I am better pleased with the results. Let's see what others say! Lindell  | |||

I clean coin silver with Brasso and/or "Aluminum Doctor" polish. Sterling silver I use Hagerty Silver foam cleaner. ALWAYS by HAND. I also WASH OUT the residues from the cases. | |||

Some of the older silver watches you see for sale on e-bay shine like a new quarter. I do not believe they were done by hand. My bet would be a polishing wheel. I thought I would query folks here and see what their thoughts on the subject were. Thanks Ed | |||
