Urgent assistance please

[Luv rolex]

Hi guys iam looking forward to experts opinions about this piece as iam going to buy it very soon if good feedback. How do you think the condition of this watch specifically about polising , do you think its polished before ? The seller confirms that the bezel was touched a bit but the case not polished also he telling me that there is no dings in case. Actually iam booking a flight to buy this piece thus iam in hurry.

Thanks alot

Also if its polished do you think it done right?? Or over polished?

[tyler1980]

polished yes. The bezel screws look to be above the bezel. might be the angle of the pics though.

[tng11]

I'd pass. That bezel looks over polished and rounded to me - so I'd factor in the cost of a replacement. The grain of the brushed finished looks uneven and not as fine as the AP finish either. I'd be more concerned that somebody other than AP touched it for servicing/refinishing and what else might lurk under the hood.

to me its not good. From the pics at least i don't see any vertical brushing and i see no variation from brushed to polished surfaces. It pretty much looks polished all over.

Is this the same one that APAP “returned” to the dealer some time later???

Ha??

[socalwatchcollector]

Pass on this without a doubt..

[mspeed76]

it has definitely been over polished. it was not done right. most likely from a 3rd party.

the edges of the bezel should be sharp. a lot of metal was removed

I actually thought of that thread when seeing these pics

[111forza]

Way way over polished by the look of those pics new bezel time

[Tay821]

Agree with everyone else. The screws are protruding from the bezel. looks horrible

[P2725TMB]

Avoid. Suggest they get the next size in gloves too, as those are about to explode.

[solrac6262]

pass, whats the asking price?

[5Zigen]

Like the others have mentioned, the polishing looks bad. I would pass

[2nastie]

Pass. I personally won’t touch a polished modern piece. And if you would consider one, I would only be satisfied if it was redone by AP.

[LAFLARE]

Like everyone else is saying, I'd pass as well.

The AP loses its appeal when those screws are sticking out and when the bezel starts to look like it's in the shape of a nautilus! not that I don't like nautilus's, just not when my AP bezel has the shape of one!

Happy hunting!

Asking Price?

1. Over-Polished bezel for sure.
2. Case has most likely been polished as well - angles a bit rounded in pics.
3. I also think this panda was only available on leather hornback or bracelet - Rubber strap as shown would have been an add on.


Cancel flight and wait for a better Panda example.

Thanks alot my friend flight postponed for now and will be waiting another one again thnx alot my friends appreciated

That watch has not been polished by AP, it looks like the screws sit above the bezel, if I wanted a panda there must be plenty out there from good grey dealers, I’d leave this one well alone

Trying to polish the Octagon out of it in some pics, hard pass!

[Hairdude1]

Pass imo

I agree, I seriously doubt that was done by AP.

[Johnnie Peh]

Totally agree. The flanks and bezel are definitely over polished.

[1st amg]

Yikes, poor job done there. PASS

[HL65]

Pass and agree not an APSC refinish.

[Colin W]

Very poor looking example - keep on looking.

Pass
The watch are over polished and I think from my experience not just one time!

[Andrewlennywatches]

will pass

[SamGMT]

The whole entire case and bezel polished and worst part is it was not done by AP, badly done based on your photos, hence, my advice is pass! There are many panda in preowned market, no hurry take your time to shop around for a better one.
