Sorry for the late reply ballaviator. You can check with Timepiece Service Center at Level 1, Amcorp Mall. Their list of services include watch case & bracelet polishing.

Hope you can post pics of your watch, before and after polishing.

 :Cheers:

I just went to [No mention of shop name, forum rules - MOD] in Amcorp two days ago. I thought I'd share the cost of polishing. Regardless of the watch brand, cost of polishing watch case varies depending on whether your watch have rotating bezel or not, incabloc case, etc. Typically those with rotating bezel will cost RM400 which was quoted to me as mine was a Breitling. The cost only covers watch case alone,  bracelet lain kira. I didn't asked for quote b'cos i have a rubber strap.

How they do it is they will dismantle entire case and take out movement and polish the case, bezel, case back and etc..quite detailed the way the guy explained. Time taken will be approx 1 week.

don't sent for polish, unless your watch need service, do it together.
as you said, have to take out the movement, alway never open the back cover unless only need services.
i bought a used ball hydrocarbon sent to polish, less 3 months watch stop, sent for repair, the watch repairman said
movement dirty need services, next time dont polish only, do it together service & polish.
you can do it yourself polish, use basso or toothpaste polish after that use car polish smooth it,
that what i do, very good result, give it a try.

Bro siodee, my watch is still in the shop. My original plan was to get it service so since i was there 'soon pin' also ask abt polishing. But seems business is good as they got some backlog. Will only finish mine after Raya week.

Someone (either watch sales / repair guy) once told me titanium cannot / hard to polish...I guess google is your best friend here.

What is the finish of the bracelet? Brushed or bead blasted? If bead blasted, you will need to have it bead blasted again. If brushed, use a that green brush thing you have in the kitchen to wash you pots and pans. Brush it in the direction of the original brushing (lightly) and the titanium will 'heal' and all the scratches (unless deep) will disappear. Don't know about using capecod on Ti.
