What do you guys think of this tudor bbalck bay black eta? It has been polished. Do you think is been over polished? The serials are barely visible cause of the polishing. Price is 2050$. Lend me your thoughts thank you

Lugs looks vey slim IMO. I would skip this and look for another. They’re not so rare so you should find another one

P.S here is photo for example of mine bb

Yikes! Looks like someone used a bench grinder before hitting it with the buffing wheel. I'd pass.

I don’t think the price is very good , especially with just a strap. The chamfered lugs appears to have been butchered a bit.

Keep looking, as you will be disappointed if you settle for this one and see another one with cleaner lugs.

The wait will be worth it!

Yeah...I would be concerned about the serials being polished off as well.

Looks to me that the owner did that himself and very poorly. I'd keep looking.
