16570, has it been over polished?

Hi All,

I'm in the process of purchasing a 16570 S series and wanted to know your expert opinion on the case and bracelet condition. Do you think the watch has been over polished? I will be meeting the seller in a couple days and wanted to get your opinions first. Please find attached pictures, many thanks.

It's certainly been polished a few times in the past. It looks average I would say. Seen better, seen worse.

It's ok. But the clasp is slightly over polished. If it bothers you then find one in better condition. Remember there are always plenty of watches around. But are you willing to pay higher prices for better condition watches. Up to you my friend. Hope you acquire what u want. Cheers.

Find the best conditioned watch your budget will allow, if this is it then go for it. Certainly polished but still has sunburst brushing on bezel.
