Hi All

Can any expert in TRF tell me if this one is over polished? I love the watch and the reason I got the 14060m is because the 6 digits looks too big on me. This is my first pre-owned Rolex. Any opinion shared is much appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

Yes

javier · 5 December 2019, 04:38 AM

I am not an expert, but it seems overpolished

1665fan · 5 December 2019, 04:40 AM

Yes, bevels gone and springbsrs almost sticking out.....think the jewel tool lady did it

jed11 · 5 December 2019, 04:41 AM

Yeah tough to tell with the lighting too (and I'm not an expert either)...but does look like its on the overpolished side.

Gerardus · 5 December 2019, 04:51 AM

sorry but YES!!

Tools · 5 December 2019, 05:01 AM

No..

Over-polished is deformed, not cleaned up or well worn.

Well worn would never classify as overpolished lol

Bigblu10 · 5 December 2019, 05:05 AM

Lugs look terrible.

Just enjoy the watch! It’s not an investment so who cares. Also this is the wrong place to ask if a watch is over polished. The polish nazis love these kinda threads!

csaltphoto · 5 December 2019, 05:10 AM

It does appear to be heavily polished... It might have been heavily worn though before that. That being said most non watch types would never notice.

“The polish nazis” Sounds like something out of Seinfeld lol

1665fan · 5 December 2019, 05:16 AM

No POLISH for U!!!!!! Would have saved a lot of watches that’s for sure!

Lol yes it does! “No soup for you!”

joli160 · 5 December 2019, 05:19 AM

Don't know what filter you applied to your pics but it doesn't help.

Crown guards still nice, lugs can be redone by a pro to look a lot better than it is.

1665fan · 5 December 2019, 05:21 AM

If lugs get polished and re cut they will only get thinner....

Ssunnylee24 · 5 December 2019, 05:30 AM

Yes.

tbk · 5 December 2019, 05:31 AM

That is a really bad refinish job. It doesn't look right at all.

PA32Pilot · 5 December 2019, 05:39 AM

Looks horrible, would not wear it. I'll give you $20 as a condolence for it and dispose of it properly for you.

fsprow · 5 December 2019, 05:40 AM

Aren't you glad you asked? In TRF we have:

The " No Polish" Patrol
The "Love Your Scratches" Patrol
The "Need Papers" Patrol
The "MSRP Only" Patrol
The "Rolex are Tool Watches, no TT" Patrol
......and others

Just enjoy your fine looking watch.

Did you buy it blind ?

evlkoala · 5 December 2019, 05:56 AM

Yes.

No, when I bought it I was not experienced with pre-owned. This is my first and only one so far.

It’s polished and in fine shape.

Enjoy it for your lifetime and pass it on.

danimelara · 5 December 2019, 06:15 AM

unfortunately, the chamfers are nowhere to be found.

Fortunately, the job looks pretty symmetrical.

If it didn't bother you before you ask TRF, why does it bother you now?

Misery is a state of mind. One can change it.

Thank you very much for asking. I am simply curious and want to gain knowledge about watches, not that I am bothered. It has become a hobby of mine to learn more about watches.

If you were happy with it then, be happy with it now.

RJRJRJ · 5 December 2019, 06:36 AM

It appears to be very heavily polished. Still nice though, so enjoy it, or send it some somewhere like LAWW and they can fix it up.

Ferdelious · 5 December 2019, 07:02 AM

I don't think it's as bad as the pictures make it. Crown guards are still in decent shape but the lugs have soft edges. I bet a trip to LAWW or Rolliworks and it would look great.
