Oops, sorry, didn't realize this was such an old thread.

AJMarcus · 28 March 2020, 05:14 AM

The crown guards look quite rounded and smoothed over. Way Over-polished for my taste.

This. Obviously is has been polished, particularly around the lugs. I wouldn't say "over", though. You can have the bevels recut if you want, and that will make it look great. Don't mind the polish police ;)

HogwldFLTR · 28 March 2020, 06:17 AM

I don't like seeing the spring bars sticking out of the lugs. However I agree with Larry that it's a nice watch and well used. Is it mint, no. Is it a great tool watch, absolutely!

Loevhagen · 28 March 2020, 06:25 AM

Borderline. If someone care about polishing; it's overpolished. If you don't care; it's OK.

dmhines · 28 March 2020, 08:33 AM

More improperly polished than over polished ..

Rado63 · 28 March 2020, 08:51 AM

overly polished, and poorly polished, but it can be fixed if you are willing to spend some time and money to get it fixed.

Too funny!

And agreed: to the OP, just enjoy your awesome, iconic watch! And you can try searching this forum for "unpolished 14060", that should bring up plenty examples of allegedly "unpolished" 5 digit Subs, for comparison.

Ain’t that the truth!

Yess · 28 March 2020, 08:03 PM

Yep

But as long as the crown lines up on the crown you're gtg.

MrMercedes · 28 March 2020, 09:51 PM

sorry, but this is one of the worst polishes I have ever seen

garyk · 28 March 2020, 09:54 PM

It happens

1William · 28 March 2020, 10:28 PM

Over polished.

offrdmania · 28 March 2020, 10:38 PM

I dont think people realize that the chamfers on 14060Ms werent that big to begin with, unlike other diver models that had large pronounced chamfers.

Agree. Watch is fine OP.

VacherObsessive · 29 March 2020, 12:25 AM

Someone has just chucked it straight under the polish wheel with no regard to the effect on the angles/edges.

GGGMT · 29 March 2020, 12:35 AM

Crown guards good. Lugs? Well looks like they used a belt sander.

I'd say no, only the chamfers are slightly too large. But the lug size seems to be equal on all four.
What's about the bracelet?

3 Putt · 20 July 2020, 10:02 PM

I don't think you can say 'over polished". But I would say not properly polished. Seems previous owners hit the spring bar holes in the lugs a little too hard. Maybe to remove strap changing marks. Also check the size of the spring bars. If they are not correct for this watch or not centered, they might show a bit long on one side.

din64 · 20 July 2020, 10:13 PM

It actually seems over polished to me...

dricig · 20 July 2020, 11:17 PM

Having chamfers re-done will only remove more metal.

Sublovin · 20 July 2020, 11:33 PM

By collectible standards, yes. If you just wear it with no investment in mind, it
looks okay.
