·The only thing I really want people to agree with, is to let people make their own decisions for their own reasons. If is something you find unacceptable, so be it.
Not sure how I can make it any clearer - this really isn't about polishing...it's about holding companies accountable for what they do.
I didn't say that you said they did him a favour - that was someone else.
The quality of polishing from Omega varies widely (I have seen some truly awful examples), and in this case they did "dull" the edges.
What "average punters" feel they need to do or not do really isn't yours to decide. It's interesting that people who decry the group think surrounding polishing, push back with their own form of group think when it comes to modern watches (that will some day be vintage).
Let people decide what they want for their own reasons.
That also raises the interesting question of will new watches become vintage - if modern materials have been well selected not to age.
The Moonswatch might be the first to discolour. Of course watches get discontinued but lack of availability is not the same as vintage.
