Explorer II 1997 - opinions on case
Guys, appreciate your input on the below timepiece
Case looks like it’s been heavily polished, the right 12 o’clock lug looks quite thin - what you think? The spring bar ends are visible but this might be the length of them i.e. wrong size, rather than over polishing as the holes still look round not oval What you think?

No red flags on case. Spring bars might be aftermarket or in need of a replacement.

the crown guards have been shaved quite a bit, i think this case has seen a few attempts at polishing.

Chamfers have been cut on the tops of the lugs.
This makes them appear thinner in the photos, but the lugs themselves seem fine.

Think I'd be more concerned about the crown guards than the lugs
