IMO if a watch is polished really well you won't be able to tell. I always look at the lugs. Lighting is not great but the lug lines look pretty crisp. Top of the lugs look like they may have been polished. But I can't be certain.

Lugs are uneven and rounded. Crown edges are dull.

Looks good, but it is in need of a touch up

It looks like it has in its life but not overly polished

Definitely polished but not overly so considering the age of the watch

Chances are pretty good that a watch that was serviced at some point was also polished.

Yes from the lugs it does look polished. As mentioned it’s not the end of the world.
