Help evaluating polishing on potential purchase

[jfp2476]

Hi all--as I posted the other day, I'm in the market for a 14060m. I would give a slight edge to a 4 liner, but have found a 2 liner that I like, at price that seems fair.

I don't have nearly the eye that the folks here do with respect to being able to tell if a piece has been over polished/poorly polished or not, so I'm looking for some input on whether this one appears to be ok. I am not worried if it has had a polishing generally, which I assume it has.

And yes--I'm aware of the small crack in the pearl, which I'm assuming could be rectified at it's next service.

Thanks in advance!

I’m far from an expert but can the seller send you other photos? I always like to ask for videos.

I'm sure they can, and there are other pictures currently available. To be honest, I did not want to trouble them for more unless I felt that I was a potentially serious buyer. However, the additional pics do me no good as far as judging polishing. Are there specific angles that you or other TRF'ers would want to see to assist me with making a judgment?

Badly processed pics on older references = HARD PASS.

There are lots of great dealers who post clear, quality pics, buy from them, especially since overpolishing is a concern.

Thanks--and certainly a fair point. I did a search here for information about this particular reseller, and it seems they are well regarded. I will ask for some additional pics when they open tomorrow. Cheers!
