1967 1803 White - Thoughts

I've always loved the 1803 and this white example has me interested. Thought I'd ask for some feedback on this one before I make an offer. Seller says its been recently polished, factory hands, factory dial.

Does this look over polished? The dial seems very good for it's age, so I have some doubts that its original. Anything I should look out for or ask from the seller?

The case looks not bad. Perhaps the case back was polished to remove engraving? I think the crown is stainless rather than WG.

One of those lugs is polished really thin and very few places will do gold laser welding to add material.
