Polishing is very risky business. Why, why, why??? Just say no!

I've seen turn-o-graphs with faded black inserts on the bezels (and on daytonas). I wondered how the black characters faded. Now I know why.

That's criminal; unless the watch was in a really bad shape in the first place.

Yikes, if I am the owner, I will check with RSC to see if they can transfer the movement and dial to a new case and bracelet.

That's actually pretty rare. It looks like an amateur with a Dremel tool had a go at it several times.
Just stay with a Cape Cod cloth when needed and your lines will always be sharp and crisp.

Is it even possible to do that much damage with a Cape Cod Cloth by hand? I know you can polished out the brushed steel, but this is a crazy example!
