Rolex Datejust

Hello everyone -

I just purchased a Datejust with an X serial number..I wanted to know if
anyone could tell me when Rolex started to polish the case on the datejust models..I remember the older models had brushed steel.. I wanted to see if this was done at the factory or if it was done after the watch was purchased.

Thank You

If it's a 116 series the lugs will be polished, if 16 lugs will be brushed.
