Horror Stories

I am interested in hearing your horror stories regarding AD's polishing your Rolex braclet. Let's hear them!

My AD has a watchmaker who knows his job damn well. So no reason why anything should go wrong with a simple polish.

I polished myself a BAD scratch on my new DJ using Capecod Cloth.
No horror, piece of cake and the result is stunning

I went in for one polishing on the clasp at the AD with no problems. Recently, I have used the Cap Cod Cloth with mixed results.

I wonder what the AD uses?

Why mixed results?
To me, user for the 1st time & without being very skilled in manual jobs, everything went brand new...

That 's why you take it to your AD and let them polish it, experience and know how. Isn't Rolex strict in regards to servicing of their watches?

All my bracelets sport a brushed finish. Why would I want it polished? The gals at my AD are not skilled at much other than flashing their teeth (and other things) and fawning over young couples looking at wedding rings.
