I think it might be...
... an effect of the material because the RG Royal Oak shows the brushing far more than the stainless one, so think this is the same effect. I think the different effects you see in SS Nautili online are due to filters etc.
Is it a good idea?
I was comparing the level of brushed finish of two nautiluses and noticed the more pronounced brushed finish on the white gold model. Do you guys think it is a good idea, if the Service center can do it, to do a more obvious brushed finish on the 5711? I ...
Sometimes there are things which could be improved.
But because life is not predictable, I would not destroy the resale value of a relatively expensive watch. As simple as that. Best, Kari
As it looks now , you have a wonderful Nautilus. :-)
Just wear and enjoy your watch. Cheers.
I would definitely not get it refurbished by Patek or anyone else. It is a huge risk.
It will come back worse or damaged. Of course it is your own choice.
Look at the state my watch was left in after giving it to Patek UK to refurbish some light scratches
Big mistake. Read all about it here
Hi Poky,
We know you've been through a hard one with what happened to your Aquanaut, repeatedly, but I don't think it is right to say that "it is a huge risk and that it will come back worse and damaged". I think it is not true. I know it was frustrating for you. ...

Keep it original
The 5711 in as icon and perfect as it is, I would strongly discourage any modifications. How can you change such a perfect watch! ...

Nevvah Nevvah!
Never refinish --even with the manufacture--unless absolutely necessary. My thought....
Never mess with the original IMHO.
Especially from such an esteemed brand. cheers fernando
As they say "If it ain't broke...don't fix it."
You know with certainty what it looks like right now. And it looks pretty good. Almost perfect. Any work at this point could make it that little bit better, or a whole lot worse.
Does the lighting have to do with the way it looks for example here is my 5980
It seems good enough don\'t you agree ...
