I believe in embarrassing the dings. Never polished anything. Look at it from a foot away like you're supposed to and you won't notice anything

I beg to differ.

They're supposed to be a "tool watch," and were at one point in time, but let's be serious with these high priced pieces of modern jewelry...

Should I polish or not?

I am just too OCD hahaha. I would like to polish 1-2 years. I am coming up on 1 year on my DJ II and got a couple scratches in the bezel and of course daily swirls and such on bracelet. The "war wounds" just taught me I wear my watch to lose and doors get in the way haha. I think I am ready for watch to look new. No way I can wait another 4 years for RSC. Yes I know I am the only one to ever see them.
