My AP Royal Oak Gets Polished! - Watch How The Pros Do It!!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Having a watch polished can be a scary thing IF you do not have the right person. I for one am a watchmakers worst nightmare lol. I like my watches done a certain way. I always say that the right watchmaker can polish a watch 100 times but it only takes 1 time for a bad watchmaker to leave permanent damage. Knowing the right person is very important. This particular person that I use is one of my friends and has over 50 years of experience. He is located here in Miami and is one of the few that I can trust with my personal watches from my collection. Most people think that this is a fast process but really do not understand all the steps that it takes to really get a correct watch refinish completed. Hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I did.
