Casper,
My first concern would be that the jeweler who was stupid/inexperienced enough to high polish the matte portions of the watch may have also opened the watch to service it.
That concern aside, the other question is whether you like this polished look. I know I'll probably get a lot of flack here for saying this, but it is a watch YOU will be wearing, so it's really your choice. Thousands of car enthusiasts spend big bucks to "customize" classic cars, while thousands of others spend big bucks to return these classics to their original showroom state. It's all a matter of taste.
My second concern would be that if you were to later try selling the watch, you would have a very hard time finding a buyer for it in its altered state.
