They will polish the watch up to a factory standard. The issue with polishing a watch, is that it can remove the sharper edges which is an inherent risk (others will argue differently). To me I don’t care, I’m not here to sell the watch to make a profit. This is my watch and it’s not going anywhere so it will be polished to factory finish, and bracelet with be brushed the same.

Update... watch came back in today. Total cost for the overhaul was 883.40 W/ replacement of the crystal. Very happy, Rolex brought back the chamfered edges, and brushed everything perfectly.

Start to finish. 1/7/20- 2/6/20

Feels brand new besides hold off of them touching the dial and hands which I didn’t want. Otherwise brand new again and love it.

Looks great. Gotta love getting back essentially a new watch and the warranty card as well.
