Is this considered heavily polished?
Hey guys,
I've been lurking around for alwhile, I'm looking for a tool watch, and I've settled on a previous gen polar explorer 2. Is this considered heavily polished? The crown emblem on the clasp doesn't look sharp and the edges on the case look blurry. http://www.vintagewatchco.com.au/Pro...62/PageIndex/2 |

Don't know what you're looking at. That case is crisp.
Study more. This is the cheapest sport Rolex on the market. |

The right side (3 o'clock side) of the bezel looks to have been polished excessively. The case looks crisp.

Bezel is awesome for a used explorer. Out of the last twenty I've handled this is
Easily top 3. |

Watch is good, priced about 10-15% higher than it should be. Only buy from TRF if you can find an Aussie seller as you will have to pay import taxes if buying from overseas, and returning the watch to a US seller is problematic if you need to for any reason.

Looks like a good deal and a nice watch. I have dealt with their sister shop in Sydney. Watch is competitively priced against anything on TRF when you consider exchange rate currently. With a bit of negotiating you will own that for under US$4K.
While trusted sellers are great you are technically obliged to pay import tax to Australia which would make it a lot more than this watch when you consider tax.
