Unpolished Case Sharpness
I've got a new Rolex 126000 from an AD and noticed that the underside of the case Lugs / side have a "Sharpness" to them. Never noticed this before on other 5 digit new Rolex's from an AD(15200).
Do / did 5 digit rolex's have sharp under cases before they got polished? My 18238 Daydate doesnt (but it has been polished) How do we best tell a "Sharp" unpolished case on 5 digits? |

Define sharp.
The top of the case generally has a slight chamfer cut along the edge. The bottom of the case generally does not.

Quote:
Look at the corners of the lugs, for example, especially where the chamfer meets. Should be razor sharp on an unpolished and noticeably less so on a polished watch if you train your eyes to spot. |
