What is the best place to polish Rolex case ?

Some people recomend to use RSC but i know that RSC does not use laser so some deep dent/ ding cannot be solved.

Are there any watchmakers in the USA can do that ?_ thanks

If you email them some pictures they’ll quote you a price. Anywhere from 300-400 would be a safe estimate. Remember, when you ship to these type of places your paying for shipping fully insured to and from. That can add another $100 on to the work so expect to spend anywhere from $300-400

He means laser wielding to fill in deep dings that can't be polished away.

Any place will take 6-8 weeks more than likely.

I have used both LA Watchworks and Rolliworks for my 16710. LAWW did a complete service and case refinish. Turnaround time was 13 weeks. Rolliworks refinished my bracelet. Turnaround was 2 weeks. Both companies were fantastic and the job they did was top notch. I definitely recommend both. Rolliworks does case refinishing as well but I had already sent my case off to LAWW before I found out about Rolliworks.
