15300 - polished or not?

Hi
Just wanted your opinion on my newly acquired 15300. It seems to be in very good shape, but I've never had the chance to compare polished vs not polished. Take a look at these photos and let me know what you think. Thanks

The bezel bolts still seems recessed. It's either unpolished in damn good condition or very very lightly polished. Either way, extremely good find! Congrats btw

looks good. If it is polished i can't tell which means it was done well. Either way i would be fine with it.

Thanks for your opinion guys!
I'm very happy with the condition of the watch considering it's a 2008 model. It can't have seen much use taking into account that it's nearly 10 years old.
It hasn't had a service yet though, so I'll hand it over to AP next year to get one done. They will probably be able to confirm whether or not it's been polished as I'd like to keep it unpolished if it is.
Really happy with the find. This will definitely be a keeper!

Took me a while to find the 300 blue so it is great you found one in such great condition! Enjoy it!

Tremendous piece, and a hard one to come by.
