Looks like a very nice watch and love the patina, with a little room for negotiation.

Strong patina, case has had quite a lot of polishing. Looks honest enough, but it ain't pretty, IMHO. I think there are better examples out there for that kind of money.

I don't think it is as much polishing as wear on the lugs. We seem to immediatly say polishing when the lugs are not crisp edged. The picture showing the lug holes don't seem to have the tell tale caved edges from polishing. Not sure the price is all that far off

IMHO of course!

I think those lugs have been polished and refinished - even looking at the top/brushed curved area, which has relatively recently been 're-satinated' IMHO. OK... Wear and polish!

Don't like the patina at all - far too yellowish for me. But that's just a matter of taste obviously.

Personally, I love a well worn watch, especially in a Rolex or Tudor. To me it is just more comfortable and it sets it apart from "replicas", I mean you know it's for real, it has history!

I think the dial may be repainted. But that's just my opinion.
