I love these "unpolished" watches with their new-style bracelets.

People will always have opinions but I feel the pictures speak for themselves. The lugs are too thick to ever have undergone polishing. Everything else on the watch like the dial the insert even the bezel are all as crisp as the case. This watch has never been polished, I have owned enough pieces to know what a re cut case looks like..

Absolutely true. Late 60s early 70s had a lot of very wide chamfers. I have an unpolished mk4 red and the beveled edges are very much the same as yours just not as pronounced. True there was variation from watch to watch back then as they were hand cut. All in all, I do believe this is an extraordinary example you have there. Also Andrew is a very knowledgeable and honest seller. Too many "experts" out there that have to put their 2 cents in, that have probably never even held an unpolished vintage sub In any case, congrats on the buy and enjoy this watch in good health!

For what its worth, this watch was purchased from original owner. Never polished but well worn. As you can see bevels quite prominent. Now I just need to get an NOS T127 to put on it!

Looks nice. For reference here is a single owner example that was likely untouched.

Did Andrew say the watch was unpolished or untouched? To me there is a big difference between unpolished and untouched. |
