Does polishing a watch reduce its value?
On vintage and collectible watches it often does, because polishing removes metal and can soften the original edges and bevels that collectors look for. On a modern daily-wear watch, a careful light refinish is usually fine.
What is laser welding on a watch case?
It's a repair that adds fine metal to a damaged area, such as a deep gouge or a worn lug, using a laser. The repaired area is then reshaped and refinished, which avoids polishing away the surrounding metal.
Can a stretched watch bracelet be fixed?
Often partly. Worn pins, tubes or links can be replaced to reduce stretch, but a heavily worn bracelet may need new sections or a replacement bracelet to feel tight again.
