Polishing by rolex sport model

Anybody had sent their rolex sub..gmt or sd to rolex center for polishing. Did they polish the stainless steel bezel inner ring as well?

Out of curiosity, how did you scratch the inner ring?

Yes they do. That’s generally included in the refinishing. I would advise light polish from RSC. It is as good as full polishing unless your watch is really scratched.

I wonder how they can cosmetically remove a tiny nick in the fluted bezel.

I somehow nicked my DJII fluted bezel within the first month of owning it. My AD buffed it out, but I could still see where it was different than the others. I eventually flipped it. When I bought my DDII, I was concerned I’d damage its bezel as well, but I’ve been careful enough so far.

Can you post pics of your bezel?

Thank you for the reply @rebel 1. Somehow I am still having difficulty posting pictures. In the meantime, to describe the nick, it’s a SS SkyD with a very prominent fluted bezel. I nicked one of the blades of the bezel such that if I run my fingernail over that exact blade I can feel the ridge of the ding. It is also visible upon close inspection. Just being OC I guess. I would have really preferred it had Rolex used SS for the bezel instead of WG. Buffing it would round the sharp edge I guess
