I didn't realize the lugs look like ramps. Is that normal?

How about a couple side views

In the first pic, the crow-side lug definitely looks quite a bit thinner. What RSC did you use? I sent my old 16613 to Dallas and felt like they were a bit heavy-handed with the polishing wheel on one of my lugs as well.

Verdi · 11 March 2017, 05:02 AM

I would not call that overpolished. just polished.

But I would not polish it again, that's for sure.

m j b · 11 March 2017, 05:06 AM

It looks fine to me.

Carrera997 · 11 March 2017, 05:07 AM

I think it looks perfect. You have a stunning watch sir!

I think many people here (all fine WIS I'm sure) are a bit too overwrought on the whole polishing issue.

Although I did once have a Breitling serviced and they polished the back so severely that the serial number was nearly unreadable. That was at the BSC.

sensui · 11 March 2017, 05:08 AM

I'd say no. Looks polished but not crazy so. The overpolished fear is out of control on this forum.

JBrown717 · 11 March 2017, 05:10 AM

Not at all. Great watch!

U5512 · 11 March 2017, 05:12 AM

There isn't much you can do if the folks here say your watch is over polished. Buy a new watch maybe?

tkerrmd · 11 March 2017, 05:16 AM

watch looks great wouldnt stress over it its done

Boaters · 11 March 2017, 05:18 AM

I am not an expert but it looks polished as many watches do but not overly. I think it looks nice.

blue16613 · 11 March 2017, 05:31 AM

It's a gorgeous watch Dan. It is not overpolished.
Wear it and enjoy it.

daveo5 · 11 March 2017, 05:33 AM

Nobody but nobody can polish a Rolex like Rolex. After all, they make them.

RichM · 11 March 2017, 05:37 AM

I think it looks fine. Enjoy the watch.

SL BRABUS · 11 March 2017, 05:44 AM

You could tell by the lugs that the watch has been polished but not over polished....

Look great & enjoy your watch....

ejvette · 11 March 2017, 06:05 AM

Heck no I've seen over polished and thats not it

soundserious · 11 March 2017, 06:36 AM

Looks fine. Really nice!

The Libertine · 11 March 2017, 06:40 AM

Difficult to determine without a "before" picture to judge against; however, if that was the first polishing, then I would personally consider it a bit more polished than I would like.

Bigcigardan · 11 March 2017, 08:05 AM

depends on the age, its easier to say a newer watch is overpolished than a watch that has been serviced a few times!

Having not seen the "before" version of your watch, it's hard to say. What do you think?

Sorry dont have pics of before at the moment but I believe it was never polished when I bought it.

That right lug is a hair thinner. Maybe they polished a bit into the brushed area and it just appears thinner but isn't?

Great watch Sir! I don't see too many of the white dial/white day and date wheels like mine.

Tools · 11 March 2017, 09:32 AM

The watch looks great.

The RSC uses templates.. If your watch was "overpolished" they would tell you so and refuse to refinish it..
