unpolished...

a true unpolsihed watch comes up once in a very rare blue moon...especially in public...heres an example of one (maybe a good buy for those who really want unpolished)

when it does it cost 50% more than a standard one (or even an unpolished one that desperately needs a polish) and is something to get excited about...i have no link to the seller ..except admiring his great taste in watches ...eg...

just thoguht it would be nice to show a proper unpolished one ...

Wow. What a watch. Daytonas/cosmos etc just don't do it for me personally, but I totally understand why they do for some. It is so clearly unpolished. I think it is really useful to see pictures like this - really calls into question the use of the term unpolished. While in this case it is correctly used, I suspect this is in the minority!

Big dollars. Reckon he will get it?!

What a truly remarkable exhibit of a beautiful piece. Astounding. Now the question is, it it worth trading half my collection for it…when if I had it, I could never, never wear it for fear of well, you know, scratching it on my sweater...

All things considered, very fairly priced (Still a significant amount, of course).
