It takes about 3 days lots hard work and patience overall I think it's worth it

Thank you for comment I did polish it by using dremmel and polish bonnets and professional muslin wheel with 2 polishing pastes..

I have Exceptional skills in polishing as I did watches in past as ex. Patek Philipes, Breitling etc..
Hi Alan!
2 Questions:
1/ what polishing pastes are you using?
2/ what Patek do you have or have polished?

Thanks!

Hi

Thank you for asking well I’ll like to make this question brief and short

For polishing I use mother’s California Alloy Wheel
Polishing paste
And as well Autosol polishing compound it’s from Germany can be purchased at many retailers 

Also I use high end Dremell with polishing wheel different shapes sizes as it’s needed for different jobs and places that are hard to reach 

I also use muslin wheels that are quality to finish of to a mirror polish 

Now I grew up as kid in Horology watches visiting Switzerland and seeing Basel World museums watchmakers oh my god name it I visited it lol

I have some watches passed on from grandfather and family that passed on to me as I take care of it and few other watches that I bought and invested over they years and years as youth 

I have passion for thin elegant watches such as Patek Philipe Calatrava I have 
I would love to have JLC Master Moon down the road 
I have 2 Breitling’s 
And Omega Co Axial Escapement 

I have polished Calatrava by Patek Philipe 
I have done Breitling’s for my self and side job for jewellers that know me how meticulous I am and do my job with honestly and responsibility regardless 

Hope that summarizes lol as I can go on and on

There should be a YouTube channel where we just pass you random things to polish, each item more ridiculous than the last.

In all seriousness, I'm pleasantly surprised how this turned out. I always wondered what this looked like under the coating. The AS-D2 (same head, I guess) is such a nice looking head and I like it how it is. I'm not as in love with the slightly more plain AS-D1. I wouldn't mind polishing that one in the future.

Hi

Thank you for reply and it took me 3 days to get it polished professionally and I’m quite happy with it looks another level of razor just amazing and shaves too 

I really enjoy this razor and it’s built really well as I said price is justified how much they ask for

Absolutely fantastic, The Calatrava is an excellent piece!
I love the JLC in Rose gold, however “ANY” 37mm watch just doesn’t work well for me. Refined and classy, but I don’t enjoy a small watch.  In fact, I won’t go under 40mm which limits my choices in that tier of watch.

I like your style Alan, you have impeccable taste. I almost went Breitling, but the Royal Oak was too tough to pass.

Thank you for your knowledge of paste products, I may take a shot at a high polish on a SS razor.  Something to practice on.  I have jewelers spectacles and usb magnification as well.  I’ll let you know when I select something to practice on!

Cheers!

Agreed, the cost of the WS-A2S makes it well deserving of a mirror polish!

Hi

Give it a try polishing razor if you have all tools patience is virtue and worth it it takes time sure indeed but rewarding at the end
