Polishing Seiko5

Just got my first Seiko5 in the mail yesterday, and I'm very pleased with it. I have a strap on order, although the included strap is better than I expected based on reviews.

Here's my question: I've seen pictures of these watches that have been polished to remove the matte finish, and I think they look really sharp. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Specifically:

  1. What type of polish should I use?
  2. Do I need any special tools?
  3. Will I need to disassemble the watch?

Thanks!

Shiny! (Said in the voice of Kaylee on Firefly) It looks great! Blinging like a Breitling. Hrm... maybe I should shine up one of my Seiko 5 field watches in that manner. Polishing by hand can get a good shine but achieving the mirror-like high polish would take some effort. If that is what the OP is looking for, a rotary tool like a Dremel is probably the easiest solution.
