Perhaps, they are trying to "get" you for a new case

Looks over polished in your photos. Maybe just the pics.

From those pics, the lower right side of the case looks really over polished. That said, it can still be polished even though Rolex refuses to do it.

Of course yu can get it looks nice but then the case will lost some metal. IMO you don't
need a new case but you need a new camera.   Jocke

It looks like it is out of proportion, that said, if that does not bother you, there is no reason it could not be polished so it just would look better.

its like going to garage to check your breaks and the mach. tells you you need a new rotor or they can not do the work.
 do not worry about ding and so on, just service the inner parts when needed and enjoy the fine watch as is.

I agree with those here who've already said it's very overpolished. Unfortunately, the only way to get those scratches out at this point would be to overpolish it even more... I'd just wear it as is. It has character!

sorry but it is like a 20+ years old "over-used" and neglected car...it is just not possible to bring it to new condition...either you use it as it is or only recycling can help

change watch guys
You can polish anything. Unless you're looking for a like-new watch, just find someone else to polish it. A competent watch person or jeweler can do wonders. I would never buy a new case.
