When over-polishing goes too far

Is this your watch? If so, how many times and how was it polished.

Looks like the guy put it in a vise and had at it with a belt sander with about a 120 grit.
 That's going to need a new case and bezel.

Even if it did have some monster dings, I would much rather have those than this train wreck.

WOW!!!
If that was done by purely polishing by hand, I wouldn't want to shake their hand.
