GMT-M2C bracelet mistakenly polished - affect on value?
I brought my steel GMT-M2C to my local AD for service and directed them NOT to polish it. However, they mistakenly polished the bracelet after separating it from the case. What is the effect on the value of this watch? It is the first year release of the steel model with the black dial.
(I have not had any good experience with *any* Rolex servicing including the RSC and an authorized service center.)
Thank you
Ira

Not an issue
This being modern watch there's no effect on the value. People are stressing to much about polishing vs non polishing. Only vintage watches can be affected by that and usually only when the bad polishing job is applied. If done property by RSC there shoul...
Thank you everyone for your comments!
Thank you all for making me feel better about the polishing mistake! Unfortunately, I found two other issues when I went to pick up the watch: The triangle marker on the bezel was not clicking precisely at 12 o'clock, and the hour hand was not pointing pr...
