Help with 16710 condition
Hi all,
Just wanted a bit of help gauging condition on this 16710 that I've seen. Is anyone able to help please? What are your thoughts?

No expert here so fwiw;
Looks nice, recently polished. Perhaps lug holes show some soft edges which happens if these are not plugged when pushed against the wheel.

Help with 16710 condition
Yeah looks recently polished but the lugs are sharp. I’d say it’s “very good”.

That looks just like my 2001 P-series 16710N, and externally appears to be in nice shape except for the bezel insert scratch between 2 and 4, and that's a shame because it's a serif insert.
Here's mine:

Like others said, it is in very good shape. Polished, worn, but remains one of a better examples.

Looks good. I would not hesitate buying a watch in that condition. The scratches on the bezel insert makes it yours.
