16710 Lugs/overpolish
Hi all
I’m considering trading my ceramic sub for this 16710 stick dial and wondering if the lugs look normal or over polished to members. Thanks Chikka |

Looks like it has been polished, leaving the edges rounded, with that said there is a lot of meat on the lugs left and a more professional service can bring it back to factory specs.

No, I wouldn’t say it is over-polished.

I would say acceptable. The bezel teeth look a little rounded and that would bother me more, but that is a part that can be replaced.

Not over polished but could do with being refinished or brushed properly.

Looks like it’s been polished before but I would t say over polished
Depends on what you want. To wear and enjoy, I’d say it’s fine If you take a collectible piece then wait for an unpolished one. I know I might get heat from my fellow TRFers for saying that but I personally like my watches untouched!

Needs a WIS owner to keep it in decent order. Ceramic Sub would be ditched if it was me.
