Polishing Watch Scratches
Should you polish your watch? The answer depends on several factors.
Arguments Against Polishing
- Removes metal, thinning the case over time
- Can blur sharp edges and details
- May reduce collectible value on vintage pieces
- Natural wear tells the watch's story
When to Polish
- Deep scratches that bother you
- Not a collectible/vintage piece
- Planning to keep the watch long-term
Recommendation
Only use authorized service centers for polishing. Amateur attempts often ruin finishing details. Many collectors prefer to embrace wear rather than risk damage.
