Need Help on this Daytona

Dear All,

I just bought a New Old Stock Daytona M serial, when i was looking today on the case back i found the polishing job was done very bad which is different than my other Rolexes, as you can see on below photos, the burshed surface on outter rim of the case back looks uneven, is that normal ?

Please help to post photo of yours,

Many Thanks !!!!
Anthony

Probably just a new sanding disc / brush used, just wear it ;-)

Looks great to me

I am sure a blind man would love to see that very tiny case back difference.

To be honest they all look the same to me - probably best just to wear and enjoy it

OP - these are shots from the sides.
Compare them and see if there is a big difference.
If it is thinner you sure do have a too much polish back case.

Looks the same to me. Then again I don't think I've even looked at the case back of my watches. It wouldn't bother me but its your money and if you are up in arms about it send it to Rolex. I'm not really sure why you are worried about the case back anyway. Enjoy the nice watch.
