Re bad service on new watch

In Response To: Doh! 'right'. The reports we get indicate ()

I tried Swiss Time Services in the UK for my old Seamaster, as did a colleague with a Speedmaster. We both agreed that the mechanical side was second to none, (the seamaster is now astoundingly accurate) but the cases of both did not have the scratches and bruises polished out, they were run over with a fine wire brush. OK, this reduces the reflectance and hides imperfections but I have spent ages polishing it back. My colleague reports that the steel of the Speedmaster is, however, too hard to do this.

I think if I go down the road again for anything other than mechanical work, it will be to Switzerland.
