Padi loves polishing his watches and very negative on every single of his comments. He should stop commenting.

What I would do is to first investigate if your RFC is skilled at polishing. As some mentioned. not all are. But if so... I guess it depends. Last service I didnt. This service I did a light polish. Before I was like "dont do it" but gotta tell you, the feeling of having a scratch free bracelet is pretty special. feels like a new watch.

Great advice! Do you just call the RFC (re-finishing centre?) and ask them if they can polish watches, and if the answer is yes, then ask them if they are any good at it?

Or are we relying purely on anecdotal internet reviews, where people (apart from Padi), tend to only review when there are problems, and not when the watches come back as expected?
