Got the Midsize Seamaster  a bit more than week ago. Spent quite some time with the polishing kit and, although there is always room for improvement, at some point you need to stop polishing and think about using it.

The best improvement, in my view, was on the bezel, where the surface ended up like a mirror!

It was a fun process and, bottom line, I got a killer price on a watch that is still keeping COSC time on the slow side, has all the papers and looks very good now.

When I put it in, I was struck by the (small) size. Most of my watches are 41mm or larger (e.g. Dievas Vortex, Zeno Airplane Diver, Orsa Monstrum, Hamilton Khaki GMT, etc...), so it feels small... However, on the (poor quality cell phone) pics, it does not look that small in my wrist. Honest opinions on this will be appreciated!
