Looks like the bevelling is there, therefore it could be unpolished. Unless the stock finishing on the case doesn’t come with that sweet chamfer in the first place.

It looks great - based on the condition of the case / links I'd say it's been polished but very well done

Can’t see the lug holes for curvature in the pics but agree this looks like a professional job. According to Rolliworks’ owner in an interview recently there are two clues for determining if what looks like an unpolished piece has been professionally polished. First, there would be small chamfers or bevels inside the lugs (closest to the bracelet) which are usually rounded out or lost while polishing. Two, he said there are original circular swirls underneath the lugs/case bottom which are distorted or lost over years of polishing. Those original swirl marks can’t be replicated during polishing. Don’t kill the messager I’m just repeating what an expert said.
