I had a complimentary one done through an AD (although they had the service centre do it). I think that the regular charge was in the $100 - $150 range.

Not sure if this will help any, but just this past weekend, I went in to Tourneau, and asked for a quote to polish my 12 year old Tag, and bracelet. They quoted $149.

I then happened to come across a watch repair shop (chain), in the same mall, and asked them for a quote. $129!

Not cheap, huh?

You can remove scratches from a brushed surface with a small square of scotch pad. You just have to be careful to go "with the grain". It will be very easy to tell ff your lines aren't well aligned with the factory finish. Also, the scotch pad won't fit in the tightest spots and you will need a more specialized tool. I think you can find pens with a gritty tip on the internet to get the job done.
