Did he really mean to say it was polished (to a shiny finish)? Or did he mean it was buffed (to a brushed finish)? The reason I ask this is because I have a SMP that had a bond bracelet that was pretty scratched up. My favorite Omega dealer buffed out the scratches (all except a few deep ones) and left the bracelet brushed all over. This means that the little slivers of shiny metal in the bond bracelet were also buffed to a brushed finish. While the bracelet does not look exactly the way they come from Omega, the all over brushed finish is much preferable to a scratched up bracelet and is actually a pleasing look.
