Thanks for ur input guys

wow thank you for that information tools, that took alot of stress away is it because back then they polished it by hand or the machines weren't precision accurate in cutting holes and cases ?

Using the bracelet end-link as a reference point for the case lug thickness is wrong..they all fit a little bit differently. I have watches that have never been worked on and the end-link sits even with the lug horn..

3) Research, research, research...especially if you are buying a preowned reference.

4) Best thing really is buy a BRAND NEW Rolex from an AD....but that ref EXP II is not available at AD anymore, so if you really want that one...do the research.
Wow !

Looks fine to me. I'd wear it.
I always liked the old polar.
I suspect there will be an eventual impulse buy.
