What is with polishing?

I am fairly new to the luxury watch market. I see that some people write about watches being “polished”, and that is looked down upon. Does this mean watches are simply Brillo padded to remove scratches or does this mean literally polishing with a bidding wheel to attempt to remove scratches and swirls? I am referencing tool watches like vintage GMT’s and Subs. I don’t really understand what the big deal is about polishing watches and why it is a negative.
