My question is whether any of us really like unboxing a brand new Rolex to find it in 5y.o. condition with swirls, scratches, and hazy bright spots. And before you say that's a horse of a different color - it's not. It doesn't matter if I put them there or Rolex did.

Maybe the CPO program should put in their program a "distressed pre-owned" lineup.

Nothing but "no polish" models that are perfect inside and not on outside.

I hear what you’re saying Paul.

I guess I based my comments on Jays wearing habits. As above he said he wears the watch “very hard”.

In my mind, why remove any metal and why would he polish the watch only to have it looking fairly worn in a very short period of time? I guess he’d get a month or two of “like new condition” out of it.

Overall I’m not anti polish, however I do think each owner has their unique wearing habits that make it worth while or not so much
