If you really wanted to dstroy your Rolex watch this tutorial is perfect.

Serious dude, this kind of thing is ok for cheapo watches like your Fossil, this technique would DESTROY the finish/value of any high quality watch, you are very irresponsible putting yourself out as an expert to people who might actually copy you and ruin their expensive watches. Especially anything Gold or Silver .... A SS Rolex watch that has been machine polished like this will lose about 25% of its value

Which is why I said NOT to do this on an expensive watch. I also never stated that I was an expert at anything. Did you even watch the video? If you can afford a rolex / omega / ect you can afford to send it back to the factory for calibration and cleaning. This is for bored dudes with $100 watches.

@GadgetsNGear , Well NO you did not say anything about using your "technique" on expensive watches, in fact you were stupid enough to initially introduce your Fossil watch as a Rolex, that says just about it all......an idiot coaching bored dudes.

you are getting heat and scratches because you are not using enough polish, too much pressure and too many RPMs....the heat bye the way in itself will ruin most mechanical watches, just in case the bored dudes want to protect their $100 watches.

Calling it a rolex was a joke. It was supposed to be funny as it is obviously not a rolex.....

I have used this on several automatics and not had a single issue with calibration change, or any damage.

Perhaps you should go to the trouble of making a video and uploading it, to show me how YOU mirror polish stainless steel. Instead of criticism, you could teach. I think we would all benefit from that.

You idiot, platinum is the hardest metal among the ones you mentioned--definitely harder than stainless steel!! 

[GadgetsNGear]

@haomiaoliu

I was unable to find any rockwell hardness rating for Platinum because it is not often used in tooling. However on the Moh's Scale of hardness (used by jewelers) Platinum and steel both fall in 4-4.5 range with heat treated steel coming in between 7-8 (the higher the number the harder the material).

Some responses seem pretty harsh. I appreciate your rational replys. I agree that I wouldn't use a power buffer on an expensive watch or a soft metal. I would also be concerned with possible damage to the watch by heat transfer during polishing. In most cases I would hand polish with a simichrome polish paste. For bigger jobs on the band your video was great, thanks. To prevent heat transfer to the "works" you can take the band off first.

Il faut ligoter cet homme pour l'empêcher de massacrer les montres ! lol

Je n'imaginais même pas qu'il soit possible de torturer à ce point une montre. C'est du sadisme à l'état pur à moins qu'il s'agisse d'un tutoriel pour dévoiler ce qu'il ne faut jamais faire.
