以前一位国外的修表师对表壳抛光的看法：

Why we don’t polish watch cases

We get a lot of requests for case polishing, and we know that most manufacturers and watchmakers polish the cases of the watches they service. We believe that that’s a very bad idea indeed…

If you polish a watch case, you have to sand the case down to the deepest scratch first. This can easily be 1/10mm or more… Once that is done, you polish the case, and remove more material.

This case has been polished more than once, and not only have all the original lines been destroyed, but the spring bar will break the lug the next time this watch gets caught on something. The case is ruined, and with that, the watch is ruined.

If you ever had your case polished, you know that after 6 weeks of wearing the watch, it looks exactly as it looked before, only with a thinner case. It’s not worth it, it’s a bad idea, and it destroys your watch.

So please don’t ask 。

为什么我们不抛光表壳！

我们收到很多抛光表壳的要求，确实有很多表厂和表匠会在保养手表时顺便抛光表壳，但我们认为这样并不好。

如果要抛光表壳，必须先将最深的划痕磨平，这样很容易磨掉十分之一毫米或更多金属下去，一旦这样做了，就必须抛光整个表壳，这势必磨掉更多的金属。

一块表壳被打磨的次数越多，不光破坏了表壳原本的线条，而且可能导致生耳从表耳中弹出（这句不知是不是准确，直译是生耳破坏表耳，仔细理解应该是表耳处如果打磨过度，生耳可能会受外力弹出，导致表脱落），如果这块表再发生磕碰，表壳就毁了，表也就毁了。

如果你已经打磨了你的表壳，你应该明白，戴一个半月后，它就又变成打磨前的样子了，并且还“瘦身”了，打磨表壳是个坏主意，不但费钱，而且会毁了你的表，所以别再问了...
