most likely yes, otherwise, it has been looked after extremely well. Did you ask the seller?

Bladeshot · 22 August 2019, 02:07 AM

Look at the crown on the clasp. Get a better photo. It should be crisp and standing tall! From the extreme angle it’s hard to tell but it looks like it’s been polished down a lot. You can find examples to compare to. Case looks polished too.

Batmannr1 · 22 August 2019, 03:04 AM

Case edges look not so sharp as new. Nothing beats a few photos in daylight to assess what work have been done on the watch.

TreiseKL · 22 August 2019, 03:06 AM

Yes polished.

Definitely.

Most likely polished and/or cape codded.

And it is a nice watch!

If its running good and the price is fair, why not buy it? No reason not to.

As for the rarely used, grain of salt that stuff. Mechanical watches tell time, not record it. No way to know w/o opening it.

What’s the beef? It looks great for a vintage DJ.

epicurus · 22 August 2019, 03:27 AM

Looks great to me

SearChart · 22 August 2019, 04:36 AM

It looks pretty sharp to me, if it was polished it was done right. Bezel looks crisp as well.

Brich436 · 22 August 2019, 04:46 AM

I have a similar model and it looks polished but well done. Lugs are thinner.

The clasp is a dead giveaway to polishing bc you can't wear that and not have any scratches on it at all!

If the price is right go for it.

Don't worry the shinny nature of the polish will wear off from wearing it!

abozz · 22 August 2019, 04:54 AM

Looks beautiful to me. Polished? Yes.

It's a 50 year old watch that does look very nice, I believe that the seller is incorrect.

justjay82 · 22 August 2019, 05:11 AM

I’d say definitely polished but it looks good. If that’s your only qualm, I wouldn’t let that stop you.

Gerardus · 22 August 2019, 05:34 AM

Looks good! (maybe polished, who cares)

offrdmania · 22 August 2019, 05:40 AM

The likelihood that a watch of its age has never been polished and is in that great of shape is highly unlikely.
Even if it was polished, it was done very professionally and correct.
If the price is right, it would be a nice pick up.

Kliminator · 22 August 2019, 05:41 AM

Looks like it's been polished to me but if price is good - why not?

bazin · 22 August 2019, 05:57 AM

*****
As an example to compare, a 41 year old one, daily used 35 years, 1st. owner, 100% unpolished....
Watch the the typical OEM angled/parallel with the case polish direction on the lugs.

AJMarcus · 22 August 2019, 05:58 AM

Looks over-polished to me. Personally I really dislike that. I’d pass

Collector2019 · 22 August 2019, 05:58 AM

okami - great piece

Rolexlover1992 · 22 August 2019, 09:37 AM

Actually the clasp does have scratches, and it’s an x serial, I also believe that this watch was never polished or maybe polished slightly by Rolex

Who cares! If you like it and you feel as thought it’s priced fairly then buy it and enjoy it.
