Ok guys, I'm after a little favour here, I'm considering sending my Superocean chrono into the UK service centre for the maintenance service which according to the service centre themselves consists of the following,
"The maintenance service (which we suggest takes place every 2 years) consists of cleaning and lubrication of the escapement and balance wheel, checking of the functional parameters of the movement and the various watch functions, cleaning of the case and bracelet, replacement of water resistant gaskets and water resistance test".
the part that I'm particularly interested in is the "cleaning of the case and bracelet"
since I have not owned my watch that long I have no experience of having received a watch back from the service centre after servicing and as my watch has suffered quite a bit of scratching on the case and bracelet
(No deep scratches on either but quite a lot of light marking on both)
I was wondering just how a case/bracelet such as mine would look once returned from Breitling, so the request is, have you any before and after service pics of your watch so that I have at least an idea what to expect / what the service centre are able to acheive,
thanks in advance, The Soulman.

I dont have any pics, but if you want to know what it will look like, look at a brand new one.

Everybody who has gotten theirs back as said that they make it look perfect.

BTW, that service is at least a few hundred bucks if im not mistaken, right? If you want a nice polish, you dont have to send it to B.

You just need to find a local watchmaker or shop that can buff out scratches and polish your watch.
