guys, is there any recommended watch polisher?

I have a Russian Aviator Sikorsky for a while and would like to polish it. The case is steel brushed finish, and the bezel is chrome.

Red Army Watch does not have any polishing service.

Rolex still carries massive weight at auctions, so don't discount the brand.


On the other hand, Langes always tickle my fancy.

German Precision my friend.

Langes will match PPs at auctions eventually.

I'm pretty sure of that.

The recent auction results have been stunning.

If 'a tag' has the connotation of the Tag of 10 years ago (think plastic bezel F1) maybe. But Tag has transformed itself in leaps and bounds over the last decade. I suggest he try it on himself. Movement wise the 1887 is respected among the WIS.

I like those type of designs. But in terms of brand I actually prefer Omega. I thought it was around 5k-7k for basic watches. But after doing some searches on Omega, I realized there are some watches that are similar design like the carrera 1887 even cheaper than tag heuer. Think I should get Omega instead...

I always thought my wrist was small until I started looking at more pics of others. At first thought a 43mm Carrera was too big, then agonised over whether I could carry off a 45mm Deepsea. Today wearing a 47mm Pam (lugs dont overhang), and I believe thats the max for me. After wearing a 47mm and going back to a 41mm, the 41mm feels so compact and light. I'd say my range is 40mm to 47mm. Beyond that I'd feel it too small or too big. So...don't pity or resign, go try. At most gain some weight, muscle by following Dahui, makes smaller wrists look bigger.=:p

Thanks for the reply. Guess I will pump some iron first. Been ages since I been to the gym. My alternative idea is to get a pre-own 14060 instead of the Black Bay if really can't get used to the size and lug length.

Anyway, a wrist shot of mine on a 42mm Seiko for reference
