How could we possibly know? What's the asking price for starters?

KrismanX · 24 February 2018, 03:39 AM

Sure.

79280_116520 · 24 February 2018, 03:40 AM

what are they asking? why scared of light polish? it's probably done to get rid of minor swirls on the polished areas.

beshannon · 24 February 2018, 03:43 AM

Do you want it?

tbonesteak · 24 February 2018, 03:56 AM

Yes?

Hahaha. Yes I’d pay at least $25,000 for that. Totally worth it.

thanakornl · 24 February 2018, 04:11 AM

Around $15000 just want to know whether the polished done any harm to the watch or not

Looks fine in my opinion and I've owned (and currently own) Daytonas.

Looks ok to me

Max16013 · 24 February 2018, 04:18 AM

Looks good.

superstarmar · 24 February 2018, 04:25 AM

Looks good to me as well ... does not look heavily polished at all .
Prolly just as mentioned a very light one to remove swirling ...

brandrea · 24 February 2018, 04:26 AM

Its a good looking piece. I had to scroll over to see your pictures so I didn't get your post at first

IMO Daytona cases take to polish better some, as they have softer edge lines.

MinMay · 24 February 2018, 04:27 AM

Only you can answer the question, but I do love Daytona.

AK797 · 24 February 2018, 04:27 AM

Nearly all used models are polished to get the asking price as high as possible, only question is have all the lines and edges been maintained with integrity. Polishing the polished and brushed parts lightly is no issue.

joli160 · 24 February 2018, 04:31 AM

Looking good, nice watch

ap1 · 24 February 2018, 04:47 AM

I’ll go with yes

Etschell · 24 February 2018, 04:49 AM

yes

SDRider · 24 February 2018, 04:52 AM

It looks immaculate. Not sure what your concern is.

seadweller43 · 24 February 2018, 05:09 AM

looks good to me, definitely no sign of over polishing. the bracelet looks
good too, just try it on to see if its sturdy and tight.

Rolex addict · 24 February 2018, 05:10 AM

Do you really want it?

henry333 · 24 February 2018, 06:02 AM

Looks good !

TheVTCGuy · 24 February 2018, 06:04 AM

Yes... then send it to me

avilhena · 24 February 2018, 06:06 AM

It is looking fine to me, doesnt look overpolished

Golf&Watches · 24 February 2018, 06:11 AM

Properly polished, go right ahead. ��

bellesdad0417 · 24 February 2018, 06:33 AM

I would if I had the chance. Technically that is the exact one I'd like to add next.

enjoythemusic · 24 February 2018, 06:44 AM

Looks fine overall. Enjoy!

Art 1 · 24 February 2018, 06:48 AM

I wouldn't. Had one and found it very difficult to read and the sub dials so difficult they were useless.
