As far as polishing, what would be the point of polishing a case that damaged? There wouldn't be any case left!

Anyway, I'm happy that he has a sentimental memento of his father, but very very sad for the watch...
I must agree that it's sad for the watch, for sports or things of the sort I always wear a Rolex, they are tanks and in case of some serious scratches you can polish it there's enough metal on it, whereas on a Nautilus, especially 5711 and 5712, it's so thin that polishing it would take off half the metal on it.
