I have used a dremel with a telescopic hose attachment (for better control), and with 'scotchbrite' brushes, medium grade. However, only on stainless steel, and be VERY gentle. It strips GF in the blink of an eye. I found using the hand tools did the trick, but getting the brushing to look totally even in the same direction, ie all the brush marks looking paralelle, is pretty dificult. But I can't stress enough how easy it is to screw things up completely with a dremel. I wouldn't try it on your best items, and it's essential for the watch to be held securely.
