Beauty surgery for old Cartier Santos

I’m polishing this Cartier Santos 18k Gold Ladies Watch. It is from 1991. The watch is heavily used and has multiple scratches and strange looking dots.
I didn't plan to make any video. While working on the watch I grabbed my mobile phone and made this short video.
Hope you enjoy it 😊

What a Beautiful Time Piece

Thank you for watching ☺️

Nicely made Santos from when they were made by Ebel and CEC. My wife has a steel Santos Galbée from the same year.

[@MagicWatchmaking]

I didn’t even know this. Made by Ebel 🫣
Thank you so much for watching ☺️

[@rickdenney5772]

@@MagicWatchmaking Yes, Alain Dominique Perrin at Cartier and Pierre-Alain Blum of Ebel were good friends and Ebel had been making many of Cartier's watches starting in the early 70's. That work for Cartier funded the Pierre-Alain's ability to buy out his retired father and assume sole ownership of Ebel (for as long as it lasted, anyway).

Hello to Austria!
What is the beat analyzer you are using? It sounds as though it is amplifying the actual sound of the movement, rather than just making beeps.

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Hi,
I’m using Witschi Watch Expert G4. It’s amplifying the sound of the movement exactly… very handy

[@ppmi0427]

Sir, can you restore my dad's wedding watch for me? I will cover all the exspenses. Thank you^^

[@MagicWatchmaking]

I’m very sorry… I don’t offer any customer related services.
Thank you so much for watching

Great work! I was wondering if there was just some dirt on the crystal or if those were blemishes on the dial/hands...just looked a little off considering how clean the case and bracelet look
