With the current position that ANY polishing of any part of any watch is a sacrilege to be avoided at all costs it is not surprising that some watch repairers are a bit squeamish when a customer comes in and demands that no polishing be done. There are probably a few watch owners who think an ultrasonic cleaning is a no no. Strange hobby we have.
Yes, I've had people ask me to not put a case in an ultrasonic cleaner...
Perhaps they want their relatives to be able to clone them from the DNA build up inside the Endlinks?!
I'm still waiting for someone to ask me to filter out what comes from the case and bracelet in the ultrasonic cleaner and send that back to them...only half joking...
I asked my watchmaker to leave the watch unpolished and he asked me if putting it in the ultrasonic machine is ok. Not sure how to answer him so please guide me. Does ultrasonic cleaning count as polishing? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks in advance!
