Looking for advice if this watch has been polished or not?

Hey guys;

Would like some input if this watch has been polished or not? It looks good to me without any evidence of polishing but just need another pair of eyes.

Cheers

if it's pre owned and on david's site then it has been at least lightly polished/cleaned up for retail

still looks good to me but i'm not an expert on polishing when it comes to daytonas

Good chance it was lightly polished. I have high praise for DavidSW but that price is extremely out of touch. This watch trades at upper 30s.

That price in this market is stretching it

I would buy this newer 2023 for much less from Tim at Fog City.

If buying from (almost all) retailers expect at the very least a light polish to tidy it up for sale. You may hear otherwise, but IMO this is not a bad thing.

Polishing is only an issue if it has been done badly, or over done. Also, anything in a maxi case could probably do with one to shave it down a bit! (Jokes)

I feel this one is polished more than DSW? Sorry for the stupid questions, I've never purchased from these guys and never a pre-loved watch.

Agree.
It seems to only be a bad thing on TRF.
