Take many of the comments for what they are... self proclaimed "experts".
You are looking at 20+ year old watches where bracelets get replaced and cases get refinished during service. You are very unlikely to find a mint, never cleaned up, example. Refinished does not mean "over polished" and rounded edges are frequently more preferred than hard-cut new edges where a lot of material was taken off simply for aesthetics to sell. Some things you shouldn't find, such as tritium dials on post 2000 watches. It really isn't a problem, unless somebody is a "period correct" fanatic, however, it does say that it was changed for some reason. Here is one of mine, older than you are looking at, that has had the edges (chamfers) just slightly re-pointed. Easy to do when the buffer has softened them.

Pass. If you really want a good seller, call Federico at Delray watch. He sourced mine 2 yrs ago and I couldn't be happier. If he wouldn't buy it for himself, he wouldn't sell it to you..

Thanks for the suggestion- but I live in England, so would be a bit difficult from him!
