How could we possibly know? What's the asking price for starters?

what are they asking? why scared of light polish? it's probably done to get rid of minor swirls on the polished areas.

Hahaha. Yes I’d pay at least $25,000 for that. Totally worth it.

Looks fine in my opinion and I've owned (and currently own) Daytonas.

Looks good to me as well ... does not look heavily polished at all .
Prolly just as mentioned a very light one to remove swirling ...

Its a good looking piece. I had to scroll over to see your pictures so I didn't get your post at first

IMO Daytona cases take to polish better some, as they have softer edge lines.

Nearly all used models are polished to get the asking price as high as possible, only question is have all the lines and edges been maintained with integrity. Polishing the polished and brushed parts lightly is no issue.

I would if I had the chance. Technically that is the exact one I'd like to add next.

I wouldn't. Had one and found it very difficult to read and the sub dials so difficult they were useless.
