I think some of the comments here are a bit harsh. Agree pricing on these is insane lately. This is a great resource for the newbie buyer btw. Nothing less than an example worn for swanning around at the odd special occasion will generate positive feedback. God forbid some old chap wore it for fishing or something. That won't do.

I am interested in buying this watch and would like to ask: does it look overpolished to you or is it fine?

all the best,


A 20+ year old watch would not look this good without polishing.

Looks like an amazing example I love when these types of threads actually pan out.

Congrats on your 16710. I just picked one up myself a week ago and just sent it for a spa and a pepsi insert.

Late to the party, but that last one looks unpolished retaining all the original details. Congrats. Here r mine, both unpolished.





I blame it on autoconnect.

Congratulations on doing it right! You got yourself a beautiful example! I know the feeling of getting what you wanted after a long hunt!
Enjoy in great health

Lugs look a bit overpolished, particularly the right side at 12-o'clock, but not bad.

Not trying to start any animosity but I disagree that it is a VERY fine example you can see it by looking at the lug holes also very little stretch in the bracelet for it's age nuff said
