Is it good to send the watch to polish?

[volks2]

I have a SS strap Omega watch, the watch is about 7-8 yo, there are many scratches on the casing and strap, is it good to send it for polish to remove all the scracthes?  If so? What is the pro and con for doing it?

Pros - Nicer looking watch
Cons - Less money in pocket

Pros = like new again
Cons = will hv scratch soon, pao one more time.... N the steel is thinner!!!

IMHO I would leave it as is.

Gives it character .....

You can always have your watch polish, but you can never ever will get your watch unpolished after polishing it.A light buff will be fine, thus saving all the sharp cutting edges . just my opinion. tony..

pardon my ignorance, but will polishing a watch reduce its value?

Polishing wnt reduce the watch value..

some watch buyers may not agree with you.

I would say, just like it be. you can never remove scratches, painful @ 1st, latter it is just part of the watch. it is just like scars on our body... became part of us.

if you take care everyday, it will no need polish.
wash every week, and wipe everytime wear

even though the overall not that bad when time pass, it still need some scratches to show it toughness.
u know like guys, sure need to have some parut somemore, look more MAN what

if all nice nice,, very soft 1... hahah JK
