Polishing...
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on polishing their rolex watch? Should I let it age naturally and just get it polished when it's serviced every 5-6 years? Or does anyone regularly polish scratches out?

Definitely on a new Rolex let the RSC or whoever detail it.

Most I do is wash my watch with slightly warm water and a mild dish soap and now and then I shower with it on.

Thanks everyone..Can you send a Rolex to a RSC just for a clean and polish without it being serviced?

Depends on the watch...
I'm usually a strict advocate about not polishing but am about to pick up my first PCL watch which I'll likely send to RSC at its appropriate intervals. |

 And even then I may convince myself to go 10yrs (or indefinately) on polishing. I own a few vintage pieces that were once in brand new polish and clearly never polished which still look great! |

RSC Hong Kong do free cleaning, or polishing for a fee. Can't recall how much but I think its about 25% of a regular full service.
