I thought all Rolex increased their value

Well I suppose there is always an exception to the rule. I wonder if even with laser welding and a proper refinish if this poor example can be restored or saved or is now pretty much worthless I doubt a mugger would even bother stealing this one what a waste. But I suppose if the owner is happy with the result that's all that matters.

My rule of thumb is no matter how bad never, ever polish or refinish a watch case. I know some may disagree. But I prefer the organic decay of the case lines and dents and dings to a refinishing any day.

Sticking with the original finish is (almost) always better.

Luckily he did it to a pretty common sub.

I mean Green hulk subs are already pretty worthless on the market now so this polish job makes sense. Personally I would have practiced on a couple of my Pepsi GMT jubilees first though to get the technique right and then done the Hulk. In my spare time I... 

I'm not a fan of six digits Rolex in general...

It was not a Rolex trained watchmaker who did the job.

Perhaps he was a vintage Rolex collector

Many of them looks like a bar of soap.

Just...no.
