It's already been polished poorly… Refinish?

[TimeLord2]

Curious what the forum members think. My watch has clearly be "polished" and not well. From a purely collectors stand point, there are already problems. No papers, and no receipt from Tiffany & Co.—whatever… I'm not selling it, as it is a gift from my Dad. This is a purely an aesthetics question. Since the polish is less than satisfactory, would you just say WTF and go with a little sympathetic laser welding around the lug holes and some of the deeper dents plus refinishing to reconfirm the chamfers and what not? Or just leave well enough alone? I am inclined to have it refinished but I am curious how much this triggers the WIS mentality and if there would still be a consideration to not polish even if the deed has already been done—and again, poorly. Thank you all for your comments. BTW I can still see some remnants of the original chamfers. Lastly, I did just recently have it serviced by Philip Ridley and he has offered to refinish the case. I am extremely tempted to bring it back to a very new (looking!) case configuration. What say you? BTW in addition to the e service I recently grabbed a new insert (and kept the original! Yes I did. And that, through the RSC.)
