Hello,

Looks great, cool to see they were the original AD in 2005 as well.

Does the box and papers from 2005 look the same? Should be this box or older one?

I have a 2006 oyster date came in the new style box. I am sure there is a thread here somewhere on box styles

That bezel appears to have been polished - the radial brushing isn't present in the pictures like I'd expect to see... and the numerals might be a bit glossy as well. Maybe just unclear pics, but if not, that's a bummer. Doesn't mean it's not genuine, but may mean it was poorly serviced.

Doesn’t look like an RSC-quality polishing. Far from it.

100% agree, poor polishing changes the look. If you really have doubts, send it to Rolex for a service quote

Clean watch and correct box (green wave box started 2005) & def looks polished. I’m far from an expert but I am comparing it to mine which is unpolished. Your lugs appear thinner in a few angle shots and are not as sharp but overall a nice clean full set.

Looks like a fine example, I don't think you can do much better.
