I actually rather like that. Thinking about pivot polishing let's see what the Elgin watch company thought about that.

I certainly wouldn't call them cheap.

Between these two options, I would feel safer (less likely to break pivots) with Eveflex pin polishers. (knowing it's only really a clean and not able to repair scoring or reshape) Though I believe I remember some derisive attitudes toward that method in the past. I do usually give pivots a sort of scrub in pithwood, though I doubt it is very effective at anything beyond dislodging dirt chunks.

No its not in person Rich, its just feedback on your course progress from an experienced watchmaker and someone to ask questions. The technician's course covers quite a broad spectrum of horology, so there could well be stuff that folks aren't interested in. If i remember right the second course has either a clock or watch route. The courses are really just a quick and cheap way to gain some horology qualifications providing you're up to the job , without having to go to watch school, though the UK does have 2 , one in Manchester and one at Birmingham Uni. -

I do use the light green fine Eveflex pin polishers, i dont make it a habit only if pivots look badly tarnished. Good idea with the pegwood hole thing mike, do you pack the hole with rouge ? Could be a good alternative to the Bergeon pivot polisher, I also use polinum for various hole and pivot buffing mixed with a bit of paraffin to soften it up and give it some extra gunk removing power.
