polishing bracelets 116710LN

I just had a question about polishing I find that the clasp on my 11 6 7 10 Ln is starting to thin out I'm talking about the center part of the clasp the mirror finish part of it it's been polished a few times and Rolex Canada

My question is how many times are you able to polish the clasp before you have to replace it and what is the price of a clasp I mean if it's an insignificant amount 3 or 4 hundred I'd have no issue just replacing it on my next service

Just a polish wont take off too much if you are only taking out swirl marks or desk scuffs. If there are deeper scratches or dings and you have to grind away material to get the scratches or dings out then you may get in only a few polishings.

A new clasp will run about $1200US with a trade in of your old clasp. This is on top of the service charge as well.

This is the reason why I bought an aftermarket clasp, an alternative is to tape the bottom of the clasp with thick clear tape.

That seems to be a lot of polishes for a relatively young watch. How many times has it been into Rolex Canada?

A watch isnt a watch unless it has scratches, dents and dings.
