Guys, i am deciding whether to purchase this watch or not but hesitant whether the watch has been polished or not. Can anyone please help me determine whether the watch has been polished or not.

Greatly appreciate all the helps

Its been polished. It hasn't lost much shape but It hasn't gotten the best refinish. The brushed parts are a bit more coarse than it should be and it lost some of its sharp edges.

Its polished. 100 % sure from what I can see in the pics. However if you have a loop (or really good eye sight) look at the screws and compare the depth of each screw in compassion to the bezel.
That aside considering the dent on the crown, the age of the watch & the slightly rounded bezel corners its easy to tell.. Just things to keep in mind for future reference.

It's been polished for sure judging from photos.

Looks like it's been polished but looks fairly good to me. If price is good, go for it.

Love that dial!

Polished - not bad work, but to me the 12 o'clock side looks like it got a harder grind than the 6. Also, some of the leading links away from the case looks a bit overdone IMHO.

Love that dial colour!

As per above - the rounded edges falter the most for me

Definitely polished to some extent. Agreed that the more rounded edges show it the most.
