Sent a Rolex to RSC only to have it polished?

jlwc1974 · 17 May 2008, 11:55 PM

ya, many times, cheap , about $150 per polish

RSC would service the complete watch, I believe. But some AD watchmakers would be willing to only polish your Rolex. Just make sure they have the right tools.

scratches give character to the watch, wait for its service at the RSC in 5-7 yrs

Sending it to the RSC to just get a polish seems a little overboard. That is something that can easily be done by a trusted AD.

Not to mention that Rolex doesn't recommend polishing too often.

x3. I suggest polishing once every 3 years, if the scratches bother you. Now if you plan to sell it that's a different story, some people will want to put in their own dents and scratches so a clean slate is appreciated very much by the buyer.

The first scratch hurts the most, and then the others build character.

I once called the RSC in Dallas, TX about this very issue regarding a pre-owned watch I was considering buying. They informed me that they wouldn't do a "polish only" service and would only do a full servicing. There might be a different policies among the various service centers.

The Submariner is a big watch and has a large profile. Unfortunately it's size and heaviness has had me knock it into more then a few door frames and knobs. Each time it happens, I cringe! So, there are some scratches near the lugs, and at the side of the case. It absolutely drives me crazy and I have been considering having them buffed out through RSC.

When I had my LEV, I brought it into the Dallas RISC for regulation. While I was there, I asked them if they could polish a scratch out that I gotten on the case. They hesitated at first, but eventually did it.

With my platinum YM, I have scratches all over the polished center links. It does bother me a little, but I can live with it. I get it polish once a year although Rolex only recommends doing it every few years.

Ben Bridge in Southern California will polish your Rolex, but a bit pricey, $125.
