Views on this 16520

Hi everybody,

Would like to get your views on the below Mark IV 16520 white dial -

Looks ok to me - I am struggling to see whether right lugs are more polished than the left ones

https://www.chrono24.fr/rolex/daytona--id7680282.htm

Thank you !

Lugs on this model are not actually meant to be asymmetric. Can you get hands on to best asses the condition?

If they are are not meant to be asymmetric then they should be symmetric right?! Indeed if I go for it I will go to Belgium to see it and properly assess the condition

thanks very much

You will find that even on older untouched subs and GMT’s that the crown Guard side lugs will be a bit thinner than the other side.

Thanks guys, appreciated
So bottom line, looks fine to you?
Think price is an OK price, but really need to get my hands on the watch to be sure
