Bracelet looks shinier in person definitely it hasn’t the same brushed finish as before.

So the question is if I send it to RSC would they be able to just refinish or a complete polish is required ??

No big deal send it to rsc will look normal again. Don’t be scared about polishing if done correctly.

Agreed. Looks great. Steel is metal and reflects light. That is not a mirror finish.

It isn't the worst I've seen, but getting the same Rolex finish is very difficult. I would only trust a watch expert to replicate it not a jeweler.

I bought a "NOS" watch that looked good when I recieved it but later noticed thst the bracelet had been inexpertly freshened up. The grain of the brushing was off and it looked bad in bright light. I sent it to Rolliworks and they totally unf@#$%& it. Looks perfect now as if it were the original factory finish....apart from the daily wear marks I've left all over it that is.....their price was reasonable too.

I would leave it alone and in a few months of wear it will start to return to the original state. I do like shinny objects and it has taken me a long time to get good with wear on my watches but now I can just go one with it. In most cases.

It doesn’t look bad. I’d never notice unless you said something.

Just wear it, you’ll forget about it in no time. Tell the AD they owe you some swag.
