New member pleading for help on a 16713 Root Beer

[KateB]

Hello TRF!

I am new to the forum but have been lurking for a very long time on TRF to build up my knowledge on watches.
I am in my mid 20s and have finally saved up enough money, after meeting all my priorities, for a 16713 Root Beer. I will get the watch in the next few days and will be posting more pictures. I plan to give this to my father for his up coming birthday. He has been wanting a X serial (my birth year) Root Beer all his life but every time he had his chance to get the watch, he chose to spend the money on us. He is still holding on the 16713 Root Beer paper cut out I made for him when I was a kid so I know how much he wants that watch.
In a few days I will finally get the watch. I am planning to get it to a watch maker who has a Rolex account to look at the watch. In the meantime, I am pleading the wise men of TRF for help and give me your opinions. The resolution of the pictures are not great and sometimes overblown, but please do your best to tell me if there are any red flags you see.
Also I am hoping to get your opinion if the watch has been over polished and do you think I should get it polished and get a new bezel insert?

Thank you so much for your help! I promise you I will repay TRF with a lot of interesting stories!

Kate
