Can those scratches be polished out with Cape cod? They are made while I was rubbing with Panerai cloth.

If they're just surface marks, i.e you can see them but not feel them, a Cape Cod would probably remove them. If they're deep enough to feel, probably not. The problem with the Panerai cloth i find is, grit stuck on the watch gets moved around causing this damage. Some like me get distressed, others accept it as every day hazards. I use a very soft microfibre cloth for polishing and leave Panerai's cloth in the box as i think it's a useless accessory. |

I too have had this problem with my pam and it is soooooo annoying. What is a microfibre cloth and where do I get one!! Suppose washing it first will remove a dirt on the watch so you don't even up rubbing it in and scratching the case. Mike |

Mine came from an eBay seller in Thailand. All you need really is a soft microfibre cloth. I have a dealer supplied, blue fine weave genuine Panerai cloth and tbh, it just doesn't equal a soft microfibre cloth. Any will do i suppose, i just got lucky maybe with what i bought, only two at the time  and the history is now deleted from my eBay account as it's so old.I think given the polish that 316 surgical steel is capable of taking, if you breath on it, it will mark. One reason why i like my Panerai's in Titanium. |

sorry for going so OT from the OP, i've never used a cape cod  ...but back to polishing cloth, an intial ebay search of "microfiber jewelry cloth" left me unimpressed: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid ... Categories the flitz might be capable but it's more of an all-purpose type cloth, not specializing in watches/jewelry. i checked the TZ toolshop and they sell "selvyt" cloth. did a quick google and it seems competent. i might buy a test one and see how it goes. any of these names sound familiar to you baz? |

I'd quite forgotton the Flitz cloth as i have one of those but tend to use it as a place mat for whatever i'm doing and then put down. It's very good but a little to thick to easliy manipulate into every crevice like between the lugs while the strap is still on. The smaller emerald green one's i got even have genuine looking 'PANERAI' labels on them, though clearly they're not official merchandise. On reflection, i think they came from a seller on Paneristi, hence i can't find the purchase record on eBay. It won't help much if at all but the green ones are in this shot,
