What's wrong with a polished watch? From my experience, and I've owned and evaluated many, the few unpolished watches that I have seen the past 25 years are nothing to write home about. Additionally, although many here talk the talk about unpolished watches, most buyers could care less about purchasing an old, neo vintage watch with all the scratches, marks and gouges from many years of wear.
