I'm still undecided how I feel about the "patina." I wore my watch daily in the shop for 11 years. Banged it so hard, so many times off of so many sharp objects I can't remember. Still looks great. However, I hear that from Omega it will come back looking essentially new. That would be nice until the first scratch.
No right decision. Victor can polish, too, and discussed the pros and cons with us. I think he said $300 more?
