Those scratches on the bracelet will just come back. I would leave alone until a service is needed. Rolex will not even do it unless you get a full service anyway.

This
[QUOTE=jb335;12997751]If it’s never been serviced, I’d suggest waiting for its first service to polish. Due in another 3 or 4 years.


Huge Congrats!

Best advice.

Don't ruin it by polishing it.

I'd just leave it till it needs service. I wish they make this in a different color.

Agree with Travis.
I’d just make sure to do my homework on who I’d be using for the job. You may want to see who our most trusted TRF sellers use.
Enjoy that outstanding watch! Congratulations!!

Beautiful.

I'd hold off on the polish too. It'll probably be in for service in a few years and they can take care of it then. In the meantime it means you can wear it without fear of a bump or two.

If you got it polished, who's to say you wouldn't bump it within 24 hours of getting it back. Wear it every day and enjoy it. Bet it makes you smile every time you check the time.

My vote is NO to polish. Enjoy some more and then polish later, maybe?

Very Very Very light and Very Very Very careful. Not from Rolex. Get it done by a super experienced independent who understands preservation.

Hi guys just an update. I decided againts polishing it for the mean time.

Been enjoying the ownership so far and yes there are some pros in getting it a bit scuffed up Screenshot_20231028_092828_Gallery.jpg

I'm in the no polish camp, some of my pieces I get pre-owned have slight wear here and there.. for me it removes the "first cut is the deepest" worry, dare I say I almost prefer slight wear rather than wincing when I nick the brand new unworn piece
