3 minute video polishing a Gold Daytona

No words, just bish bash bosch, a spinning wheel with a few compounds added, and voila a shiny watch!

But if you look close to the clasp and the caseback and backside of bracelet, thats a "non finished" work. Sorry, but if I go to my AD and get a watch polished up, that is not looking like that.

Slamming the watch crown side down on the desk didn’t look to professional to me!! Also looked like very aggressive sanding wheel on that grinding machine!!

I think those lugs looked pretty rounded off to start with as well.

Call me crazy but I think it looked great. Obviously I am in the Polish group.

Only polishing I’d like is the polishing of life.

I hate polish and that case looked pretty crisp to me but that looked like a real pro job.

Looks like a job well done actually. I was expecting a Jool Tool video

Oh, no!! That sounds like a horror scene. Not surprisingly as Halloween is around the corner

On any watch I would have polished, I would not want those areas touched.
