ExpII Polished or not?
Hi all, just wondering if yous could give insight into whether my 2011 G serial ExpII which I acquired last year is polished or not. I'm not complaining and love the watch, just for my own knowledge really.
The lugs seem very sharp, sunburst on bezel and chamfers still look good and the "balls" of the crown on the clasp still very "full". So my first thoughts were not polished before although the lugs do seem quite slim to me.. Thanks! |

I believe the last of the 16570 had minimal chamfers.
Think this one is unpolished for comparison: |

Looks absolutely fine. The lugs ARE slim on the 16570 when you’ve been looking at 6 digit ceramics on most threads!

Agree with the above comments, appears to be an unpolished 5 digit case, it just seems slim compared to the 6 digit super case dimensions.

Looks unpolished but it's hard to say 100%. Either way, it's a great watch - enjoy!

Thanks! Yes, I've been wearing a 116710 for the previous 7 years before so definitely a change in size!
Also notice that the crown side lug is noticeably slimmer than the other side, only found out this was by design recently especially for alot of the 5 digit models, as when I first noticed, I thought it was a bad polishing job! |
