Post by: JohnLee on January 06, 2018, 05:16:42 AM: I didnt take any photos before service. Off course no scratches left but it doesnt looks like new watch as i thought it would :P so if only polish without service, we shd go back to RSC? Thanks guy

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

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.

You can buy polish material from Lazada easily and polish yourself too.
