Hey

Looking to buy this 16700 that comes with coke insert, what are your thoughts on the lugs, to my untrained eye they look fat and healthy?

Would like to hear your opinions.

Thanks all.

First direction I look from is always underneath, to see if the lugs are all matching lengths.

Can you tell anything of the pictures?, all I got for now

Looks mint and possibly never polished to me.

Looks like an excellent example.
The insert is probably not original to the watch, but that's a minor issue.

No lug expert & I have a 16700 , to me those lugs look like they have never been touched & a really clean example . well done .

Disclaimer, not an "expert" by any means...but it looks good to me.

Fat lugs, clean lines, no warping on the high-polished sides, and sharp chamfers. Looks like it's never been polished. Great-looking example IMO.
