Icon15 Polish Opinions

I was hoping to get some opinions of the amount of polish on this Sub. I am very worried about getting one online that may be over polished or poorly polished so any help would be appreciated!
Please let me know if there are any issues with the links, this is my first time trying this

From whom are you buying the watch? From a TRF member ?

The watch has been polished, but not excessively. If the price is right, you could have the chamfers recut at LAWW. I would be more concerned that the dial and hands are not service replacements.

No, I've been hunting the dealers. I am looking for a 14060 with a tritium dial and all the paperwork. This one is from https://www.tic-tock.com/watches/men...bmariner/15451. I've heard hit or miss things about them so I am being patient trying to ask the right questions.

Polished, yes, but not overly done. Does not look excessive, at least to my eye.

Agree. Not an expert and could use more pics but the hands and bezel look to be replacements. If so, I would walk.

Yup, not too bad but could definitely be sharper.

I will be passing on this one for sure. The 14060s are too new to have so many parts replaced I think. Well, then the next question is what were the clues for those not being original?

If you don't know anything about the seller...and are fearful of buying online - one word of advice.

Don't.

Actually, that was two since it was a contraction.

TBH the quality of those pics are low res....nowadays there are HD cameras on the most basic phones LOL. I wouldnt buy from them simply based on the fact they cannot invest in a decent enough camera for their business. If they cannot spend $100-$200 or have an iPhone.....imagine what costs they are cutting elsewhere...
