Tag Heuer Factory Service Question...

I have one of my watches out for a total service...here's what Tag said:
Replace Battery
New Back Gasket
New Crystal
Lube job on Movement

Cost: $140.00

Here's the question: Why replace a perfect or near perfect sapphire crystal, NOT replace the crown tube gasket, and NOT polish the case??

Do they polish the case? Is it included? I don't get it....anyone shed any light on this? It's not the price....the crystal in my Omega is more than this whole service alone, so it's not that....just doesn't seem prudent. Please let me know what your experience is....
