Looks nice and clean. Patina is even too. Is this an early 1980s 16750? The insert is nicely faded too. I like it if it is priced fairly.

IMO, if you really want to compare the 4 lugs thickness, it will be easier with a picture taken from above, watch sitting flat on its crystal on a flat surface. This way, you’re not influenced by the course of the chamfers.
Chamfers are not perfectly the same here, it seems the one on the 1o clock lug is more pronounced on the upper side whereas the one on the 11 o clock is more pronounced on the side, closer to lug hole.

Not the best pictures to judge this IMO

Took off the bracelet.

What do you guys think of the chamfers. It confuses me because I see all 3 fat lugs, except the 1 'o clock one where apparently is "overpolished". Maybe¿? Maybe not¿?

The CG look nice also. Could it be back then that the cases were finished by hand and human "error" could cause it to polish one part of the watch more than the rest¿?¿?

Looks like a perfectly ok c. 50 yr nicely worn old piece to me - everything ‘broadly’ in keeping with everything else.
