16570 Sense Check

I have been looking for a (reasonably) minty 16570 full set for a while. Seriously considering this one (despite fact I don't know the seller). Would be extremely grateful to get comments on the authenticity, condition and completeness of the pictured 16570 (I see no red flags but I am not an expert and seeing as I would not be buying the seller I am erring on the side of caution).

And if anyone happens to have come across VWS before that's a major plus!

Thanks in advance.

Looks to be a nice example, overall.

Pros:

Strong case (not over-polished).
Bezel/dial/hands/crystal/bracelet all look good.

Cons:

Minor dings on the bezel and case.
Minor desk-diving marks on the bracelet (easily sorted with a bit of Scotch-Brite if needed).
Would be nice to see pics of case back and bracelet clasp.
Price is quite high, IMO.

16570 polar is one of my all time favorites. This one looks good — holes case, which is cool. High price. I’d like to ensure all original. Service History?. Bracelet stretch? Up close dial and case shots? Don’t know seller so can say nothing there.

Thanks. I'll see what additional info I can get. Yes holes + SEL is what I am after

Case look like polished before, bracelet links looks loose, bezel is so so... In overall its doesnt look mint. You can find better examples with that price.

OK thanks both. I'll temper my enthusiasm and hang on for a better example!
