That's an uncommon variant, and it sounds like you really like the watch, so you should buy it. Why not? The case looks very sharp, so personally I would tend to avoid polishing. Perhaps you can just have the movement serviced if you plan to wear it regularly.

Polishing the watch hurts the value. Collectors these days want watches as close to how they were originally as possible.
Great watch by the way!
