I’m looking at a fairly priced BBB but it’s been polished and it’s kind of tough to tell from the photos. Curious everyone’s opinion.

(Been looking for this model for a bit by curious if I should spend a bit more for a cleaner example)

That looks messed up to me.

derekhayden · 4 August 2018, 12:04 AM

I would have to agree that it doesn't look good.

Brew · 4 August 2018, 12:05 AM

Yesterday I was loving the way the bevels on the bronze BB case shine. I know the watch is different, but . .

RazorD · 4 August 2018, 12:09 AM

Yeah, just looking for a sanity check. Thanks guys! Part of the charm of this watch is the chamfered edges which this appears to have lost.

stratguy · 4 August 2018, 01:07 AM

That is a horrible polishing job.

Bigblu10 · 4 August 2018, 01:15 AM

Watch has been butchered. Why? What are people thinking?

shaunylw · 4 August 2018, 01:26 AM

Too easy of a watch to find. That’s a hard pass for me. The polish job is not good.

Ouch.

DP63 · 4 August 2018, 01:37 AM

Sorry, the first picture made me whince ... but thats not polished .... thats been sand papered.

Chope Man · 4 August 2018, 01:40 AM

Horrible!

The Libertine · 4 August 2018, 01:42 AM

That is a terrible polish job.

johneh · 4 August 2018, 01:45 AM

Jesus, that is terrible. Looks like it was done in someone's garage with the lights off and a rough file.

GoingPlaces · 4 August 2018, 01:49 AM

That’s too bad. Ruined a nice watch.

Looks horrible! Sorry!

dnill · 4 August 2018, 03:00 AM

Case is totally ruined. Easy to find a better example.

toolr · 4 August 2018, 03:04 AM

What was it polished with, a grinder? It looks terrible!

Swearengen · 4 August 2018, 03:04 AM

It that the before shot

Brazicano · 4 August 2018, 03:58 AM

That’s probably the worst I’ve ever seen.

RolexEDC · 4 August 2018, 04:14 AM

Looks like the original owner polished it himself with sandpaper, I would buy it if it had a deep discount and send it into the RSC so they can service and fix the polish

Chewbacca · 4 August 2018, 04:20 AM

It’s a poor job, but.

Presents a low offer opportunity for you.

Great beater potential.

Al1969 · 4 August 2018, 04:25 AM

Doesn’t t look good at all! What’s the seller’s explanation?
I say pass for a much better example.

orologico70 · 4 August 2018, 04:34 AM

oh my god.....:((((((

tbonesteak · 4 August 2018, 04:35 AM

Hard pass, looks absolutely terrible.

037 · 4 August 2018, 04:57 AM

It's a buy at $800 to 1000. Send it to LAWW to get fixed.

It's a pass at anything higher.

Fixed? That is beyond repair, there is not much of it left already.

Just imagine how much more material would have to be removed to sharpen it up. It needs a new case. I would be very upset if my watch came back from service like that.. My 116613LB has some deep marks, I'll just be keeping all of them (my dents and scratches) forever, along with the correct case profile too thanks.

That's a chewed up Tudor.

How would they fix that? Toss it into a dumpster?

Colin G · 4 August 2018, 07:05 AM

Looks like a homegrown attempt at a brush or polish job to me.

When I think of polished, I think shiny.
