Picked up a beat up vintage Rolex 1500 Oyster Date for a steal of price. Spent weeks tracking down and waiting for the authentic parts to arrive such as the crystal, bracelet and vintage box with pillow, etc.
Finally done with the restoration... well almost, needs a trip to Nobert for a service.
Managed to restore the brushed areas with a Bergeon fiberglass scratch pen and 3m pads. These are quite handy if you're anal about fixing scratches on brushed areas of your watch, If you're extremely anal about scratches, use a dremel, cotton buff wheel and Dialux Green and Red polishing compound. It did wonders in terms of bringing back the shine and taking out the smaller scratches.
