Thoughts on this Zenith Daytona
Hi, I’m considering this Zenith Daytona 16520, U serial. Seller says it was recently polished. It looks overpolished to me but I was hoping to get the opinions of others on this. If it does look overpolished, is it something that can be “fixed?” Thank you in advance.

I’m not a fan of this particular polish job so I would only buy it if it was well worth the price of admission.
I feel the Daytona is the worst Rolex to have a bad polish on.

I usually don't care about polishing, but this one is to the point where I'd pass unless the price was too good to be true.

Appreciate everyone’s input. Glad I’m getting better at spotting things like this. Seller has it listed for $21.5k. Comes as watch only. It’s the lowest price I’ve seen for a Zenith white dial recently but still not sure if it’s worth it given the condition.

That case is not appealing to me.

It’s up to you but I would not mess with it… I would at ~15K pick up price though…

Awful and no it can’t be fixed.
PS it’s the lowest for a reason.
