Like anything new, it does take some courage, but it is pretty easy to refinish Rolex. The metal accepts polishing pretty easily. However, I would never use a Scotch-Brite pad. They actually make polishing stones and pencils the jewelers use to add finish.

Matte finish should be done with the polishing stone in a single direction only. I have never taken the time to tape off my brush/gloss bracelet. I Use the polishing cloth for the entire bracelet and then use the matte stone Refinish the brush parts. Or use the brush pencils for the small details. Always, always, always in a single direction.

This is for touching up swirly‘s and restoring brushed finish to keeping it look pretty new. If you like the marks of age on your watch obviously it is unnecessary. For major renovations I always send for polishing. It’s amazing what these guys can do with the watch. Take out dings, etc.
