Opinions on Returning Front of Case to Factory Specs

Hello everyone,

I am wondering how people feel about my sending my 1133B in to have the case front returned to the factory specs by having the metal brushed. It appears to have been overpolished, likely when the previous owner sent it in for service in early 2000. I live in the USA and I'm curious who people would recommend here in the states. I use ABC Watchwerks for my vintage Rolex pieces, and they are miracle workers with polishing and adding beveled edges, but I don't know if people have had experience with them working on Heuers here.
