High Polished Day Date?

Has anybody got a high polished gold rolex?
I am thinking of asking for it at the service centre.
Any pictures would help?
Thanks

Not sure but I do know that rsc service centers will only return watch to how it was new from the factory. They don't condone any mods whatsoever.

Service center won't do it.

An independent will do it, but be prepared to have part of it's value destroyed with the polish.

Just buy gold colored shiny watch from Michael Kors for the price of polishing a Rolex. :D

Yikes! Factory brushed and polish is to die for, don't mess with perfection!
You could always get a cape cod and have a go at it yourself =)

Well brushing the polished centre links to de-bling isn't unheard of. So I don't see why not, but I don't see why either. Your watch, your call. I wouldn't.

Much nicer when not polished, wether SS or gold, I'm thinking of brushing the center links on my BLNR, not sure yet but I like way more the brushed bracelet of my sub...
