Sea-Dweller: Polished Case or Not

[MinMay]

polish for sure. You can see the bottom lug right has been polish much more than the left side....

Also, the lug pin is almost sticking out.

Well, that’s the problem. It’s not being priced accordingly, IMHO. The watch is being priced as if it’s an NOS-like piece, and add the fact that it’s a very full set, it’s crazy expensive for a GW SD. I nearly fell off my chair when I heard the asking price: $44K.

Yeah...very steep! Looks like great examples without B&P are around $19-22K ish. If they won’t lower accordingly, I’d keep looking

Recut. Laww does good work. Soft transition to crown guard is the tell.

Stuff like this makes me happy I don't have the money to even think of playing in the vintage sandbox at this level. Scary.
