Hello,

I'm wondering if a fine restoration is possible for this clasp, my 93253 bracelet is in good condition but clasp was damaged, so i found and bought this one. But wondering if i can restore this without damaging it, or use this way.

Thanks!

Yes, a qualified jeweler or watchmaker could easily polish the scratches out of the center part and re-brush the stainless portion. I think you could also get good results yourself using a "cape cod" cloth for the gold part and a green scotchbrite pad for the brushed stainless, and a lot of elbow grease of course! You'll also need some masking tape to keep the finishes separate while working.

Thanks, clasp steel sides seems to be polished now, i guess it will be better brushed

If you polish the gold to hard, aiming to get rid of ALL marks you'll risk polish through the gold down to the metal. Its just a thin layer not solid so be careful

that can easily be sorted by a competent polisher
