Considering this daytona 116520
Hi Rolex world,
New to the community and would appreciate your expertise. I'm contemplating pulling the trigger on this 116520 2015 and have some questions regarding the condition of the watch.. my local grey says the watch has been unpolished but wanted to get a second option. Please can you advise if this is the case and if it had been polished should I avoid or is it not a big deal? have been looking for a good example for some time thank you in advance Dom |

Need to see day light photos as in outside lighting. Those photos are terrible.

Near impossible to find a preowned watch sitting with a dealer that’s never been polished. The real question should be is it over polished. Check the lugs and the case carefully. But your photos should be better quality particularly of those areas and the underside of the clasp. Happy hunting.

We can bare with you, but these are indeed terrible photos and impossible to use for evaluation the condition of the watch. Seems the lugs still have the stickers on? If so, this is a tell-tell sign that it is probably unpolished.

Your arm hair has gotten in the way of being able to tell if it’s been polished or not
