I instantly knew I had to have it when I first saw it and decided to get it serviced, in fact I took to my AD the day after, so that I could enjoy the watch for many years to come.

Aesthetically it may now look pristine, but that's not what I wanted and I will forever look at the watch in a different way. I already feel emotionally detached from it and I haven't even got it back yet.

Think of it as erasing the previous owner and now going forward you can put your own nicks and scraps on it making it your own.
Im sure they will have made a great job of it and to be honest why anyone wouldn't want their watch to look its best is beyond me.....ive had several watches polished and they all came back great from rsc uk....id be using the AD situation as leverage to get a ss daytona though lol
