Omega Case Polishing

I recently dropped my SMP and knocked a small chip out of it. I brought it to a reputable watch store to have it polished away, which they did. However, they also refinished the entire case and bracelet, although it didn't really need it, in the quest to make it look "new." The watch itself was only four months old to begin with and other than the scratch, was in excellent condition. Although the casework was done fairly well, I don't think it matches Omega's original work. The enjoyment of the watch now seems reduced to me because it doesn't feel "original." Am I right to be upset about this, or should I just relax since the watch will get scuffed up over time anyway? Any thoughts?
