How Our Luxury Polishing Services Work
Polishing is generally one of the final steps in a comprehensive luxury watch service to remove scratches, scuffs, and surface dullness. The process works by removing microscopic layers from the metal on the case and bracelet. Precious luxury watch models require skilled craftsmanship and meticulous care. So here’s what to expect from Diamond Brothers’ luxury watch polishing in London.
- Brand-certified techniques: Each component of the watch is disassembled and cleaned separately; scratches and scuffs are smoothed with a multi-stage, high-precision finish. Alongside our brand-certified tools and techniques, we employ premium polishing materials and a good deal of traditional hand-polishing to extend an extra level of care.
- High-quality craftsmanship: Our craftsmen are highly skilled and experienced at working with different types of high-end luxury watch materials. Their care-intensive refurbishment processes ensure minimal material loss and lasting results.
- Comprehensive servicing: We are experts in watchmaking and bespoke jewellery, providing comprehensive service, repairs, and polishing to remove micro-level imperfections with a protective layer of lasting sheen.
If you are looking to prepare a watch for sale, our tailored watch polishing services in London are available at competitive costs and can add more resale value to the model. All our polishes come with a 1-year warranty and a detailed service report.
What Kind of Watches Need Polishing
The purpose of polishing a luxury watch goes beyond keeping it looking like new. Minor scratches and dings can attract micro-particles of dirt and contaminants that may oxidise or corrode certain alloys. While natural patina is a highly desired characteristic in vintage watches made of precious metals, like yellow gold or platinum, a periodic polish is recommended for certain watches, such as:
- Stainless Steel: The most common material used in watchmaking and an ideal candidate for polishing is stainless steel, usually 316L grade. However, certain models like Rolex’s “Oystersteel”, which particularly uses 904L steel, are highly resistant to corrosion and can retain their superior sheen for long periods.
- Gold: Polishing gold watches is a big no-no for collectors. If there’s “patina”, it must be restored. The principle, though generally meant for vintage pieces and collector’s models over 20 years old, for modern models, such as the Rolex Datejust 69178 26mm Gold, a light polish by authorised, skilled professionals is generally appreciated.
- Ceramic: Polishing is not only meant for metal watches. Specialised techniques are meant for models with ceramic cases and bracelets, such as Tudor’s Black Bay Ceramic or Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. We employ specialised hand polishing to maintain the sheen, which differs from how we treat metals

Frequently Asked Questions
For most modern watches made of stainless steel, gold, or gold-plated materials, light professional polishing is standard practice when surface scratches or loss of sheen occur.

Yes, we can. However, a comprehensive polish is recommended to preserve the watch in optimal condition from end to end.
We can deliver a watch polishing service in as little as 24 hours; however, the actual timeline depends on the type of material and the condition. We need to look at the watch to give you a precise time.
We offer the same level of expertise and care, and use brand-certified tools and techniques at a fraction of the cost.
