Would you polish this watch?

I recently purchased a pre-loved 116520 with no service history, and a faulty chrono pusher case tube. I got a great deal for it but decided to take it to RSC NY to get a complete overhaul and replace/repair parts to get it back to a fairly new condition.

I did wear the watch for a week to get a sense of how I felt with all the scratches intact and had no real issues looking at a watch that looked worn pretty much as a daily beater. That's why I am second guessing whether or not I should have the watch polished and bezel replaced by RSC. I know there are a lot of members here that condone polishes on modern Rolexes, but I'm under the impression that the 116520s will obviously be placed in the 'vintage' nomenclature eventually.

Photos show the condition of the watch prior to sending it in. I just approved of the estimate by RSC yesterday so I believe there is still time for me to cancel the bezel replacement and request no polishing. What are you guys' thoughts?
