Polish question

Picked this up a couple of days ago, and installed it on a strap, as I prefer them over bracelets. Just wanted to some opinions on how heavily polished it may have been. I know it was polished as it was serviced by Rolex around 5 years ago. Over polished or O.K.? Thanks.

Although you can tell it’s been done it looks fine.

Rounded on the edges but nothing too bad

Where'd you get that end link piece?

Watch doesn't look bad at all - enjoy!

Looks great looks to me like a light polish sometime but very light ... But the strap has to go. Here is my 16710 D Serial ... I modded my 78790 bracelet with a Glidelock clasp and it is nice. Get yourself some inserts and you can change up the look now and then.

Thanks guys.

Good to know and I appreciate all the feedback. For Dan, end links are from George aka Smartypants, here on the forum. Yeah, I know about the strap, but I had it hanging around. What do you all think would work best; maybe a navy, or ?, without contrast stitch. OBTW, watch is an M serial, 3186 mvt.
