Polishing bezel, how much can it withstand it?

[P1EMO]

As per title, I'm using as daily driver a VSF PAM312 and of course it's getting scritchy, scratchy and bumps on normal basis. As much as you can pay attention to it, wearing 12hrs/day will inevitably have it backsides.

Bought from M2M and I've polished the bezel with Cape cod cloth.. was very satisfied of the result but... How often can I do it?
Is the bezel really fully made of SS or it's just a very thick plating?

Will it get damaged if every 2-3 months I give it a good pass on it?

I've no idea what a PAM312 is, but assuming this isn't some toy you bought off AlieX for $65, then the bezel will be solid steel.

Polish it as much as you like with a Cape Cod, although if your crystal is acrylic the CC will eventually start to deform the original shape of the crystal.

It's the Luminor with polished bezel and brushed case. So actually I'm covering crystal and case with paper tape in order to preserve the finishing

Everything is correct. It is solid steel. Don't touch the crystal and satin-finished midcase, everything else will be fine.

I agree with KOT
Your watch is made of solid SS
No worries about to polish it many times

The crsytal is sapphire it is not necessary the protection

That’s interesting and good to know. How quickly is “eventually” ? Are we talking

Also the op mentioned it was a vsf so if that’s accurate it should be a decent rep.

Personally I like the scratches and dings. Especially on a daily beater. I think they instantly give a watch a little character and charm - so in my opinion I wouldn’t do it too often.

Cape Cod will quickly distort the cyclops on an acrylic crystal. 10 minutes of vigorous polishing will probably be enough to see a difference in magnification.
