I have the Roadster and Tank Francaise. The bracelet bands are scatched, the Roadster's high polish finish shows more. Has anyone ever had them polished to remove scratches?

I haven't, but have thought about it. I wonder if an ad would be able to help out?

I haven't had this done but am thinking about it - I have noticed a scratch on the band of my Tank F (two tone). I'm going to Sydney in a couple of weeks and I plan to visit the Cartier store while I'm there and just ask them what they would recommend. I wouldn't do it without checking with Cartier first.

i have a stainless steel tag watch and although it's no cartier or rolex, i have taken it to my jeweler to be cleaned and polished. it came back looking good as new! i was pleasantly surprised with how good it looked.

so if there isn't a rolex or cartier dealer nearby where you can easily take it to be polished, perhaps go to your trusted jeweler and see what they can do.

It can be easily done. Take it to any fine jewelry store. I've done it to all my watches and they look brand new.

I had scratches all over my stainless Tank and took it to Cartier...they did an amazing job. It looked brand new afterwards.

Call me ignorant but I didn't know this could be done...I have a Roadster and it definitely needs to get a little make over! thanks for this thread...!

Try a Cape Cod polishing cloth. I learned about this from the guys in the Panerai forum.

When I bought my Cartier stainless it came with a cloth and spray and it works great.

I send my Patek Phillipe for annual battery replacement and it comes back looking brand new. The scratches most definitely can be buffed away.

when i took my tag into an authorized tag dealer this week (i needed them to add another link to make it bigger), she said they can leave it in a special solution for 3 days which removes all the gunk and stuff that tends to happen with watches over time. obviously, if you want it buffed and polished, that's something different, but for $30, she said she can leave it in this special cleaning solution.

maybe inquire about that, too.

I had my Cartier Tank Francaise fully serviced by an AD, including maintenance and polish of the bracelet. They have worked through every link. It looks almost like a brand new watch.
