To polish, or not to polish: that is the question

So with a new 372 O ZF p.3000 clone in hand I have come to a fork in the road. Let a nice vintage plexi patina slowly form over time adding to the vintage DNA of the 372 or keep it in a polished state and give it a touch up with poly watch whenever I get a scratch.

Things to consider:

How long should this v3 p.3000 clone movement run in its dry state before stopping? id hate to achieve that perfect vintage crystal look at 2 years then to have it die.

How often do you guys scratch your Pam plexis? Iv had mine about two weeks and managed to get a small scrape, not very visible from an arms length but can be felt with a finger nail.

Let it be, mate. Let it be. Their is nothing better than some patina on a plexi. I pay good money for my friend to age my stuff on some builds. And, like you, I've had same dilemma with my 372. I'm going to let it become unique with time. I do have to say - my 372 for $150 is still one of my best purchases ever. Enjoy it and let it be [emoji6].
