To polish or not to polish

Hi there, just wondering what everyones thoughts are on polishing your watch collections. Yesterday I pick up this nicely working grade 1 1908 Waltham pocket watch. And the first thing I did was polish by hand the nickel silver case to see the condition of it. I use menzerna universal cream on all of my collection. Gold plated, gold filled, silver what ever. Even if some plating has worn off they still turn out nice and shiny. Do you guys and gal's polish your collection? 

Cheers Graziano

Yep. With Simichrome. It's what I use to polish injection mold and punch press dies with. Works great.

There are some though, depending on age and model, that I don't for obvious reasons.  Just want to leave "the look," ya know?

Hello, which ones don't you polish just out of interest have you got a photo? I have this Admam Burdess 1888 made fusee that was filthy so I serviced it and polished everything in and out of the Watch.
