there was a thread just down the list from yours: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=245211

just search refinishing in the search tool. if these methods don't look heavy duty enough for your "dent" talk to a watchmaker/jeweler in your area.

Rikki · 24 July 2012, 10:33 PM

Absolutely send it on down Rikki dent is on the upper crown guard

WatchTimes · 24 July 2012, 10:52 PM

Its a battle scar, no sense in polishing the watch every time there
is a little ding or scratch... If you do it will lose its lines in no time.

Wear it and enjoy it.
Rolex is meant to be worn, used and abused and still look great
later in the night when you throw on a tux.

Last time I had a Rolex given a full service I made sure they did not polish
it

pietermann · 25 July 2012, 03:03 AM

zixzon · 26 July 2012, 03:23 PM

Nope.

Are you all blind?

I would definetly bring it in to an AD, this is NOT a "do it yourself" job. I think dents in such a perfectly manufactored watch is a shame. It will probably always be noticeable, but an AD should be able to "tone it down" a bit. I could not live with it, but hey that's just me.

That's the whole reason for the crown guards; to protect the crown.

zixzon · 27 July 2012, 01:35 AM

This is easy job for rsc right ?

onkyo · 27 July 2012, 03:09 AM

That's a tiny 'dent' .... leave it be.

h999r · 27 July 2012, 03:31 AM

very easy to remove

Frosty · 27 July 2012, 03:33 AM

I know what you mean. Before I had my GMT serviced, I wore it like it was a Casio. It went where I went. Once it got serviced it looked brand new. I checked with the RSC about polishing between services and they do not recommend it. The lady said it would take off too much metal if you did it between services and at services.

Sorry,I not good at English. I don't understand what do you mean "if you did it between servicecs and at services"

It's mean do not recomend to polishing it,right ?

zixzon · 27 July 2012, 03:58 AM

I serious because local watchmaker in Thailand said "It very hard to polishing it because a ding is on a crown guard"
For this reason I'm not sure the RSC can do this to look like new for me.
Now, I take a new photo for everyone.

I crop from earlier pic.

Chipmunk · 27 July 2012, 04:10 AM

Just as soon as you have it polished, there will be another one. It's a tiny scratch. Forget about it.

Lex1970 · 27 July 2012, 04:34 AM

I've got a few dents on my Rolex which infuriated me as my previous pre 2006 models never seemed to suffer any dents but with the polished edges they scratch easily. But at the end of the day I bought my watch to wear day in and day out and it still has no where near the amount of scratched and dents that I had on my Omega Sea Master

Don't polish it, it's ok. Very tiny scratch.
