Is this polishable by RSC?

ikincooper · 11 February 2023, 11:27 PM

I had a larger series of scrapes and dings and they almost got polished away so I’d be pretty confident that’d disappear.

Looks like you’ve got a sticker still on which to me looks worse being honest. Just my opinion

Oh cool thanks btw that’s rx8 film

Bxtek · 11 February 2023, 11:36 PM

I'm no expert, but I would think that would need to be filled in and then polished? Otherwise, that edge would have to be rounded off to get rid of that ding, which would probably look worse imo. At least that ding is on the backside and not really that noticeable while on the wrist. I would personally leave it alone.

Can RSC filled in and polish?

I don’t believe that Rolex service centres do laser welding (filling in) but I’m sure others will confirm for certain. Plenty of specialists exist around the world who could laser weld it if so you desired.

As with the other reply in this thread, I’d leave it well alone as it’s barely noticeable. Annoying when the first occur but time heals

leave it be

Hslim888 · 12 February 2023, 12:21 AM

Yup I think will leave it for now, just wondering if it can be fixed when it needed

TheWatchmen · 12 February 2023, 12:35 AM

Sorry what ding?

Hslim888 · 12 February 2023, 01:24 AM

Not sure how well RSC can do refinishing

Easy E · 12 February 2023, 01:25 AM

If the wrong person gets hold of that the fix potentially becomes worse than the perceived problem. Especially given the location, I’d leave that alone

+1. Much worse.

wrxsti · 12 February 2023, 07:21 AM

Needs to be filled then polished….places like roliworks can fix it easily

Gab27 · 12 February 2023, 07:53 AM

The sticker is much more visible than the ding. The first thing I saw in the pic was the sticker and it took me a few seconds to locate the ding.

Yes, RSC can fix it and, as is the case with dings, they may fill it prior to polishing. However, this is not a very visible mark, especially compared to how visible the sticker is.

They can’t polish plastic, but they can roll it in glitter.

yankeeromeo · 12 February 2023, 08:29 AM

I've got a much larger ding from my Dalmatians tooth.

My AD has an in house watch maker. They said let me know and it will be repaired as new.

Watchsama · 12 February 2023, 08:33 AM

Stickers that helps you collect DNA... Nice!

EEpro · 12 February 2023, 08:45 AM

Leave it and send to LAWW or Rolliworks for service. You'll want laser welded 904L and not rounded off with a polish wheel.

I have a little dimple in my top left lug. Doesn't bother me enough to fix now but I'll have it filled in someday.

Harry-57 · 12 February 2023, 09:58 AM

Ironic that you put that ugly, sticky, dirt collecting film on it and still managed to ding it. Maybe the universe is trying to tell you something?!

On balance, I prefer the look of the ding. It's minor and it can be made to vanish, but if you just wear the watch you won't notice it. The first one is always the worst. You're past that now.

Yes ironic isn’t it, I wonder where did i knock the back of the watch, or maybe hitting gold bracelet? Seems unlikely gold is softer than steel

You wear a gold bracelet on the same wrist as the watch?

So much for aftermarket ‘protective’ stickers.

They will need to polish it to remove the weird edge those horrible stickers leave.
