I'm a watch collector for quite some time now and I'm developing more and more interest in watches that have a gun metal finish.
Now I happen also to be a brush & polish freak.

My question is if there are some scratches on a gun metal watch or bracelet can those scratches be brushed out?
Or will brushing and / or polishing remove the gun metal finish?

Does anyone here have some experience with that?

Thanks for the input.
