GMT-M2C bracelet mistakenly polished - affect on value?

I brought my steel GMT-M2C to my local AD for service and directed them NOT to polish it. However, they mistakenly polished the bracelet after separating it from the case. What is the effect on the value of this watch? It is the first year release of the steel model with the black dial.
(I have not had any good experience with *any* Rolex servicing including the RSC and an authorized service center.)
Thank you
