Shape is fine. The DJ (and DD and Daytona) has softer lines than maxi case watches. I am wearing my DJ41 as I type this and see nothing soft or weird about your watch.

4 minutes with a silver polishing cloth is only going to clean the stainless steel - nothing more
Really? Yeah i just feel like iv completely ruined the watch and its worth nothing anymore so you must be right!

I mean the scratch hasnt been removed so i suppose you are right! There was grey material on the cloth though so metal must have been removed!

The grey on the cloth will be a mixture of the broken down polishing compound, dirt and contaminants and a “microscopic” amount of metal.

Someone once said in here worrying about removing metal with a polishing cloth is like worrying you’ve made your living room smaller by painting the walls.

Seriously - machine polishing a car removes microns of a material (paint) that is significantly softer than steel. The amount of metal you have removed will be so small as to be completely insignificant

Best to sell it and start over. Or, accept what 43 posts have pointed out that try as you might you have not done what you think you have so time to move on...

I think your manicure nail "polish" should be higher on your priority list!

Watch is not over-polished, but OP may be under-medicated.

Unless you were manually cloth-polishing that watch for maybe 2-3 months, I can't see how you can overpolish it. Besides, you would have noticed earlier a considerable growth on your biceps, elbow and shoulder muscles.
