High standards, polished or unpolished, is a matter of personal preference at the end of the day.
So, it is up to OP to decide what sort of standards to have regarding this watch.
Don’t dismiss opinions which are different to yours.
If the watch had sentimental value to me I would send it to Rolliworks to restore the case.
I would not polish because it would not help much anyway.

I agree, but if you re-read your first post you were quite dismissive of OPs family heirloom. Clearly you don’t suffer fools gladly and think his baby is plain ugly.
Personally, I’d be happy to wear my dads watch, even if you think “someone has hammered on the lugs”, dents, scratches, and all. It’s cool because it’s not mint or faux-old.
And yes OP, the bracelet is easily repaired. As are the scratches and dents. But be prepared to spend about half as much as the watch is worth. Maybe more if you want to restore it to the like-new standards some here expect.
