I'm just looking for feedback in general as I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and its hard for me to tell if its been polished (heavy or light). I talked to them and they state its mint and never polished as its "almost new" but I'm not good at picking up what to look for. I'm assuming its a fair asking price as well but not a lot of examples to go off of. Any feedback is appreciated.

It's tough to tell with any certainty from the pics, but I'd guess it is highly unlikely that it was polished if the seller (with record) says it wasn't and since it is a Day Date 40 more recently released.

If you do pick up, post some wrist shots!

Not an expert but the bezel could be sharper

I absolutely HATE these web sites that have low resolution images of the product for sale. You can't tell beans about the condition, and if the defect you see is an actual problem or an image artifact or something else.

However, these guys claim to have a 14 day review period, presumably you can get all of your money back, so I'd suggest that you go ahead and get it and make up your own mind when you see it in person.

Best of luck.

Not sure why this got moved here, I never asked about authenticity just if it looked polished

I recently purchased a watch from Eddie and his description of the watch was dead on.

My watch is an all YG Paul Newman and was as described - exact condition as the one that you're considering.

He actually took pictures for me with his iPhone, so I could see for myself the unaltered condition of the watch.

Good luck!
