Glad to see it was a prank. I think many WIS have made some bad choices in polishing over the years though......

that other watch cannot be from the cloth, i think the owner had that polished out professionally, maybe he just wanted a shiny case with rounded edges. But i cant imagine a cape cod cloth do that.

You should use 100 grit sand paper next time and cut down the polish time to just one minute.

It's metal so next time just apply some bondo and refinish.
