To polish our Rolex

[JohnLee]

I sent my sub to rolex center to service and polish but i dont really see much diff. Where can we polish our rolex beside rolex center? Any good sifus to recommend? Thanks

Mind to share the pic before/after polish? From what I heard, the best place you can polish your Rolex is at RSC.

Are those scratches or hairlines still there?

[JohnLee]

I didnt take any photos before service. Off course no scratches left but it doesnt looks like new watch as i thought it would  so if only polish without service, we shd go back to RSC? Thanks guy

Sorry but I am confused, if there are no scratches left, it does looks like new isn’t it?

Are you saying the lug is not as fat as when it was new?

Em.... Im not sure but it looks diff as before but i dont know how to tell. Just feel diff to me.

Thanks for you guys opinion. I dont wanna polish also next time unless the damage is really bad.

Yes better not polish it before the service interval. Rolex stainless steel can withstand 8 times of polish and 5 times for solid gold.

Wow very important information. Thank you so much for sharing bro.

What will happen if you polish it more than 8 times? thinner lugs and imbalanced watch head?
Is this applies to 5 digit Rolexes or the 6 digit Rolexes with fatter lugs?

The casing will start showing over polished, yes thinner lugs. It applies to 6 digit Rolexes i guess, as this information was shared by a spokesperson of Rolex after year 2000 in an online article. Tried to find back the article so I can share it here but couldn’t find one.

I bought my watch from Wingwah and they free polish all time.
You can buy polish material from Lazada easily and polish yourself too.
