What is a redial watch?
A redial is a watch whose dial has been stripped and repainted, either to fix damage or to make it look better. Most collectors treat redials as a major flaw, so they sell for far less than watches with original dials.
Should I send my vintage Rolex to Rolex for service?
It depends on whether you value originality. A Rolex service center will service it properly but may replace the dial, hands or bezel insert with current parts. If the watch is collectible, use a vintage specialist or give written instructions and ask for all original parts back.
Does polishing a watch reduce its value?
On vintage and collectible watches, usually yes. Polishing removes metal and softens the case's edges and bevels, and buyers pay a premium for cases that have never been polished.
