Looks like it has been polished during its life but it still shows good crown guards.
Try to get more information, service history, first three digits of the serial number (I can't make it out in the pictures). Looks like it needs a new crystal.

Not the greatest of pictures. Looks like the second hand and the 24 hour hand are darker than the other hands, but then again it could be the bad pictures.

Besides what timetogo mentioned, the crystal looks good in some pics and scratched in others. The band is missing two links. Do some additional homework with the seller as previously mentioned!

I would pass on this watch.

To me the watch looks .....

I am wondering what the reasons are that Mr Bill and Johnny are thinking to recommend your passing.

Agree with Mike. I don't see anything that would make me pass on the watch if it is priced accordingly.

i wondered where this thread has gone, and now just found it's been moved to watch out. i queried seller about polishing and he said that it's slightly polished but you wont be able to tell it's been polished, the only thing i can see over-polished is the crown stamp on clasp but i can life with this. i did ask for a high resolution pic but he said this is the best he can do. the seller looks legit to me, with 100% feedback and some from known 2nd hand watch store here in Melbourne so looked like this is not his first time trading watch. he also has some other high end watch listed for sale in ebay.

for some reason, the bracelet has been turned to PCL anyone knows how to make it back to brushed? i read 3M scotch brite pad works, i might give this a try

but first thing first, i will take better photos once it's here, and it's off to RSC melbourne for authentication / service qoute
