I recently bought a Explorer II 216570 (polar) and like it so much that i decided to add a black one as well. But instead of another 216570 i want a 16570 and one with the oyster clasp bracelet and not the flip-lock. I have a 14060m although i love it i realy dislike the flip-lock stamped clasp.

So I'm looking to buy my first (vintage) piece. I cannot find any nos pieces from <91 with this bracelet but i did find a couple that look in decent shape:

Expecialy this one: https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/explo...-id8041820.htm

Its been polished twice. What do you think based on the pics? Overpolished or fine and in overal good condition and a good choice?

Would’ve been helpful for the seller to include a full on shot of the dial/bezel straight on where the lugs meet the bracelet. It appears the tops and bottoms of the lugs aren’t pictured, other than side shots of the watch. Could be coincidental. The front picture would show inconsistencies (if there were any) with polishing the lugs if it’s not done properly.
