I am still a novice, but it seems its been relumed. I am sure the experts will give you a better assessment.

The watch does not look relumed at all and hands match nicely IMHO. The insert/pearl looks like replacement. The watch seems to look pretty nice overall. Of course the watch has been polished also as noted above but most have been in this day and age. Congrats and wear in good health!

I agree. Crown seems to be original, and overall a very nice watch. Lugs look only marginally polished and appear to be fairly thick. A watch DEFINITELY worth owning IMHO.

Ken and Jason nailed it. It's a nice piece and if I were in the market, I'd be looking at something just like that.

Oops, didn't mean to come off as a negative statement. My bad! Was an honest observation to OP's reply.

Very nice watch. As someone else mentioned, you might want to have the crystal checked since it does not look to be set properly and seems uneven. As far as it being polished, that is what they do during a service, and it appears that it was done very well. The case looks very nice.

Enjoy it!

...and check also the pins. The 12 o'clock seems smaller / thinner than the one of 6.

Apart from the comments already posted, it is a great watch. Enjoy
