Case of rolex 1803 no markings

Hey guys, first time posting on a forum so please forgive me if this isn't the correct way to go about it.

I am looking at purchasing an 1803 day date however it seems to be missing the 18k mark on the reverse of the case.

I just wanted your thoughts on it's likely to be polished off?

Cheers

case look refinished, the other hallmark looks heavily polished, likely polished off completely

Looks like it's been polished by someone wanting to polish bracelet switching or endlink marks. How does the case look in general?

You can faintly see the marks but how much gold was removed in the heavy polishing? I bet there is a considerable weight difference from new

I haven't seen it in person, it's an online purchase. I am hesitant in purchasing because of this. Thanks for the feedback guys!
