I have this Hamilton Khaki 704450 with some dings here and there and I was thinking if I should polish just the top part of the bezel using those cape cod cloths, but I’m not super sure if I will be able to polish them away in a way that I’m satisfied with the result.

On the other hand, this is my daily beater… I paid 200€ for this piece so I was thinking that if send it to a shop for a proper polish it could be more expensive than the watch itself.

Pros of doing it myself: less expensive and I have the materials laying around the house. Cons: never done it before.

Pros of sending to a shop: I have a bunch of shops near my house and work and the end results should be better. Cons: more expensive than the watch itself?

What would you do in this case?

My Hamilton has a big ding in the bezel. I wonder if it is made of softer steel than some of my other watches. I have some with scratches and such (I just wear them) but none of the others have dents in them
