A bit polished, but looks fine. Dial is ok, I think, Inlay too.

You should check the serial number! important!
Ask them

All the original chamfers are present and brushing looks original... it may not have been polished. I really think this one's a winner.

I was told light polish so it must be pretty light. I have heard it’s a good company to work with too

Is the price in line with the market? I’ve been out of the marker for a while.

I'll throw my opinion out there for what it's worth. Nice watch, lightly polished IMO (you can also see polishing on the bezel). The lume is very pale and faded, which is neither a pro or a con, just a matter of taste. It's dealer-pricing, but not terrible considering it's serviced and carries a one-year warranty.

. Polished for sure, crown guards are getting pretty small. Dial hands and insert look good thiugh

Those Crown Guards are pretty bad,Lightly polished is a gross understatement.
