I'm ready to add my second Rolex to my collection. I'm thinking about getting an Air King 14000M off a seller on eBay. Comes with all papers, box, and the guy has good feedback. I can pick it up for $1900. Its an '03 model which makes the serial number an 'F'. The seller has excellent pictures which reveal a lot of 'hairline' scratches and normal use. I understand I can polish the Oyster bracelet with scotch brite but my real question is how can I clean up the high polished areas? The smooth bezel, the sides of the case and things like that are highly used looking... Any advice?

here is a picture of what I'm considering.

Looks nice.. cameras are not very forgiving and you may not see so much when you get it in hand..

Most any jewelers polishing cloth will shine up the polished parts.. Cape Cod is an option, or Sunshine clothes, etc..

Your going to put those "hairline" scratches right back on the first week. IMHO don't worry about it.

Also Buy The Seller NOT his/her pictures...good luck.

An AK 14000M must be much bigger that a AK 47, right?

Thanks guys but I missed this one. Someone snatched it out from under me... Oh well shopping for a Rolex is 90% of the fun. Good advice, Mickey, thanks!

No problem...on this forum you can post links to auctions "for help"...if you want.
That is a nice package for $1900 on EBAY...minus fees for eBay and Paypal he is getting even less....
Make sure he is 110% reputable...
