Polishing, Brushing & Case Finishing Methods
This guide explains visible cues of case finishing and how QC checks consistency.
Scope
- Polishing and brushing as visible surface styles.
- Case lines, edge transitions, and surface consistency.
- Bezel engraving depth and angle cues.
- Bracelet linkage and fit details.
- QC checks and transparency principles.
What “Finishing” Means
Surface Style
Finishing affects how light reflects on the case.
It includes polishing and brushing patterns.
Structure Fidelity
Case line restoration is a visible craft point.
Edge transitions also affect the final look.
Key Visual Cues to Check
Case line fidelity
Look at lines and edge transitions.
Bezel engraving
Engraving depth and angle are key cues.
Detail sharpness
Sharpness reflects finishing control.
Bracelet connection
Bracelet linkage and fit are checked.
What can vary
- Visual differences may appear across batches.
- Known batch differences are disclosed.
How to ask
- Ask for close-up QC photos when needed.
- Ask for clarification on visible limitations.
How QC Supports Consistency
Real QC media
- Each watch has independent QC photos.
- Video may be provided when feasible.
- No renders or heavy filters are used.
QC interception
- Deep case scratches are intercepted.
- QC issues may trigger re-allocation.
- Shipping starts after QC confirmation.
Known Limits & Wear Notes
Plating wear
- Gold plating may fade under strong friction.
- Durability depends on usage habits.
Disclosure rules
- We do not claim “perfect 1:1.”
- We do not promise impossible craft effects.
- We do not exaggerate materials or coatings.
