I can't find one nice thing to say about it. They legitimately ruined everything.

Looks more like a botched attempt at brushing than a polish.

How in the heck did it get to that? Did they use a grinder or something?

I agree! Looks like someone got creative with a scotch-brite. I own the same watch and it looks nothing like that as I'm sure others can attest to. Bevels are lost, case sides are suppose to be shiny, brushing is awful, etc. Pretty much junked sorry to say. A sad ending indeed. Place it in the refinishing hall of shame. Run, run, run away from this one. Cheers!

Guess no need to further comment on the quality of the work. I’m totally against polishing. You lose the original texture. Wouldn’t even look at polished watches

Not a very good polish. But can be fixed.
