Some recommendations in South Florida please

My 2018 sports Rolex watch has been worn hard and enjoyed for almost 7 years. Through desk work, gym, and all types of daily tasks, the bracelet clasp has take the brunt of it. While I am not yet at the point where I want to refinish the entire watch, I would like to clean up the clasp and re-brush. Any reputable jewelers, ADs, repair shops in South Florida or nearby that can do this without destroying the definition of the edges or the crown.

Before you suggest Scotbrite green pad, I would rather not because the grain on the finish looks off. Does not look factory. I do not want a sloppy or amateur looking finish. I want it to look like the the original state again.

Should be a quick and easy thing, but I want to make sure it is done by an expert/professional.

For reference: this is what I'm dealing with:

Do nothing - Let it be.
If and when you go to Rolex for a servicing, then and only then, make the decision to polish or not…….

I understand but that is not what I'm asking.

I understand your concern for keeping your Rolex looking pristine. For professional refinishing in South Florida, consider these reputable places:

Mayors Jewelers - They have several locations and are an authorized Rolex dealer with experienced technicians.
J.R. Dunn Jewelers in Lighthouse Point - Known for excellent service and handling high-end watches.
Donn Jewelers in Fort Lauderdale - They specialize in watch repairs and refinishing with a good reputation.

I would send it to RSC Dallas for a full service and then take better care of it going for forward. The whole “work hard” doesn’t fly in my book. Normal daily activities should not bang up a watch like that.
