Brand New rolexs in displays at shops

just went past a new watch shop thats opening up and their currently setting up their display when looking at the watches their so shiny
how isit you get a preowned watch to get back to its original shine as it was in the display cabinet or it this to do with lighting as much

makes me want to break the bank and buy a new watch!

Jewelry stores rely on lighting to showcase their wares..

Of course, take it to AD and have it polished, it will look like new.

Diamonds are ALL about lighting and whenever I go to an ADs I always slip on my diamond ring as that is where it looks fantastic and often female ADs tell me how well the watch Im trying on compliments my ring. All good fun.

You could polish your watch and strap a light to your wrist. ;-)

Your old, scratched up Rolex will come back looking good as new from a routine spa treatment at the RSC.

I feel that the rolex yellow gold never loses its shine, even with scratches! It keeps on shining like the energizer bunny!

I can't vouch for other Rolex metals, but I think it's the same.

funny that a popped into the store it just opened today and the sales assistant was complimenting my diamond ring it all makes sense now!

must resist temptation to not buy new rolex! they even offer interest free credit which makes it easier on the bank

What can I do to put this brand new Rolex on your wrist today?

How about 20 months to pay; no interest?

DONE!!
